Analysis of the Responses by American Foreign News Desk Chiefs to Questions Concerning the Perceived Communication Gap Between the Western Media and the Developing World

Abstract

There seems to be no loss of words among some international scholars of mass communications in condemning the U.S. and other western media when it comes to how the developing world (otherwise known as Third World) is represented in the U.S. Press. However, the zeal of these researchers and scholars had not extended to balancing their findings by questioning American media executives on why the third world is unfairly represented in the U.S. media. This research is an attempt to fill that void.
