THE LACK OF FOREIGN NEWS

The critics rebuke the press for the fact that most newspapers devote somewhat less than 10 percent of their news space to foreign items.

In many hundreds of papers this falls below two percent.

Why is there this aversion to foreign news? Newsmen claim that readersevince no interest in foreign affairs.

In order to increase reader interest in foreign news, the vogue among editors is to sensationalize it to the point of distortion.

Many other papers do only the most superficial kind of reporting in this area.
