Description
Summary:This study examines the view of the world as presented by national television broadcasters in 10 Asian countries through content analysis of their daily primetime news bulletins. In trying to understand how this view of the world is created and presented to viewers, it examines the factors that affect television news such as the global news culture, universal news values, Asian Values in journalism, the international news flow and the globalisation of television news. As a follow-up to a similar study on the Eurovision news exchange (Cohen, Levy, Roeh & Gurevitch, 1995), it updates on the role of regional news exchanges by studying the operations of the Asiavision news exchange.
