'''Global news flow''' (also referred to as '''international news flow''') is a field of study that deals with the news coverage of events in foreign countries. It describes and explains the flow of news from one country to another.<ref name="segev">{{cite book|url=https://www.peterlang.com/view/product/31394|title=International News Online: Global Views with Local Perspectives|last=Segev|first=Elad|publisher=Peter Lang|year=2016|isbn=9781433129841|location=New York|pages=139–153}}</ref>

Studies on global news flow typically attempt to understand why certain countries are more newsworthy than others..<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kariel|first1=Herbert G.|last2=Rosenvall|first2=Lynn A.|title=Factors influencing international news flow|journal=Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly|date=1984|volume=61|issue=3|pages=509–516|doi=10.1177/107769908406100305|s2cid=144352647}}</ref><ref>Kim, K., & Barnett, G.

The unequal representation of the world and the under-representation of [[developing countries]] have been already of a great concern at least since the 1950s, since they influence the way people perceive the world and the image of countries.<ref>UNESCO (1954). How Nations See Each Other? Paris: UNESCO Publications.</ref> This problem was later addressed in the [[MacBride report]], and his set of recommendations for a [[New World Information and Communication Order]]. The unequal representation of the world has been also linked to the [[World System Theory]], and the unequal economic structure of the world.<ref>Chang, T. K. (1998). All Countries Not Created Equal to Be News World System and International Communication. Communication research, 25(5), 528-563.</ref>

A 2014 study, examining 35 popular news website in ten different languages over a two-year study period, found that "the United States is by far the most prominent country in the news sites that we studied from around the world, except for the [[Francophone world|French]] and [[Arab world|Arabic ones]]" and the "network structure of news links clearly exhibits [the U.S.'s] key position as the centerpiece of a global system."<ref name="segev_blondheim" />

A 2015 study published in the journalism ''Journalism'', examining "validity and limits of the news flow theory," found that "Over-represented regional centers in West Europe and Asia overshadow the under-represented regional peripheries in East Europe and the Middle East" and that the United States and Africa "serve as a global center and a periphery respectively."<ref>{{cite journal|last=Segev|first=Elad|title=Visible and invisible countries: News flow theory revised|journal=Journalism|date=2015|volume=16|issue=3|pages=412–428|doi=10.1177/1464884914521579|s2cid=144164340|url=http://jou.sagepub.com/content/16/3/412}}</ref>
