Global News Flow Debate in the Era of Social Media Networks: Is the U.S. Media Still the World’s News Leader? European Scientific Journal
Main Article Content
Abstract
The News Flow Debate (NFD), which is about the imbalance in the flow of news internationally, has continued to generate
interest in communication research. This is because the issues that gave birth to the debate in the first instance have remained
fluid, notwithstanding the impact of social media on the unidirectional flow of news and information due to the liberalization
and proliferation of the news gathering and dissemination processes at the grassroots level. This study analyzes the content of
U.S. media coverage to determine the impact of social media on the content and flow of news in the United States. In other
words, this study hopes to find if traditional media organizations in the U.S. are still setting public agenda in the era of social
media networks popularity.
