The study investigates the determinants used by three leading newspapers of India for international news coverage. The Indian newspapers are heavily dependent on foreign news wire services. They give prominence to news based on national threat and religious affinity, and cover negative news about the countries with which India has sour relations. The study finds science and technology as a new determinant for international news coverage. Trade, population, and distance are found to be poor predictors of international news. The determinants used for the study were based on determinants frequently used by the U.S. media.
