Abstract
The study articulates `a values approach' to understanding foreign news coverage in a prestige American newspaper. A system of 13 values - including altruism and freedom, materialism and peace - is articulated, with values examined in terms of how foreign nations, groups and individuals were represented in news coverage. The study finds that values are clustered along two dimensions: (1) conflict; and (2) positive. In addition, values were distributed differently according to story type, story domain and focal nation. Specifically, Asia was depicted as materialistic, Western Europe as beautiful, Africa as consumed with power issues and the Eastern bloc and former Soviet states as concerned with security. The findings rise from a content analysis of 338 news stories.
