Abstract

The content analysis focuses on the New York Times and its international coverage. It looks at the amount of news coming from the seven continents and it shows that continents in the Western-bloc get more coverage. Stories from 26 Sunday edition International, front page and Money & Business were analyzed in 5 different categories. Results indicated that most of the news did come from Asia and North America followed by Europe, showing that there is a bias in terms of equally distribution of news among continents.
