Determinants of news coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis
Determinants of news coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis
Abstract: This study employed international news flow theory to test the impact of the determinants of foreign news flow on the comprehensiveness of textual and multimedia coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis in the form of a live blog. A content analysis of live blogs (N=195) published in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the United States, and the United Kingdom, showed that deviance of the event and economic relevance were the best predictors of the coverage.
