The new research presented in this volume suggests that general perceptions (cultural, psychological, geographical), allied to the customs and values of journalism, and underpinned by the uses of technology, significantly shape international news. The uptake of technology has contributed to fundamental changes in style and form, and has greatly facilitated cross-cultural exchanges. The category "international news" is now more of a hybrid, as recognized by the BBC and others. The chapters in this book demonstrate that this hybridity is unevenly distributed across geo-political domains, and often across time. Nevertheless, as the contributors to this volume show, the concept of `international news¿ relies on tightly interwoven elements of orthodox journalism, social media, civic expression and public assembly.
