The book studies the current trends of foreign correspondence in Europe. The European Union’s expansion has had abundant effects on news cov- erage, and some of the European capitals have become home to the big- gest international press corps in the world. So who are these “professional strangers” stationed in Europe, and how do they try to make their stories, which are clearly important in today’s interconnected world, interesting for viewers and readers? This book represents the first pan-European study of foreign correspon- dents and their reporting. It includes chapters from 27 countries, and it aims to study them and the direction, flow, and pattern of their coverage, as well as answer questions regarding the impact of new technologies on the quan- tity, frequency, and speed of their coverage. Do more sophisticated commu- nications tools yield better international news coverage of Europe? Or does the audience’s increasing apathy and the downsizing of the foreign bureaus offset these advances? And how do the seemingly unstoppable media trends of convergence, commercialization, concentration, and globalization affect the way Europe and individual European countries are reported?
