THE (MANY) MARKETS FOR INTERNATIONAL NEWS
This essay explores the economics behind changes in what types of international news reach what types of audiences in the United States. I first review the demand and supply for news from abroad, explore what has changed recently in US media markets, and then assess the likely ways that international news will be supplied in the United States in the future. I also draw tentative conclusions about the implications for these media market changes for different types of US readers and viewers.
