Global journalism appears to become increasingly important in the field of journalism studies, however, there is no agreement about how it should be applied in research. This entry presents four perspectives: the global-mapping perspective, which is concerned with mapping and analyzing how journalism works in different parts of the world; the media-technology perspective, which focuses on the potential of cross-border media technology to facilitate the creation of a “global public sphere”; the ethics perspective, which deals with how journalism should approach other cultures in order to reduce the distance between “us” and “them” and minimize stereotypical depictions of the Other; and the discourse perspective, which associates global journalism with reporting that sheds light on the multitude of cross-border interdependencies between people, processes, and events. The entry also discusses the positions of “globalists” and “skeptics” in the media globalization debate and the role of journalism education in the development of global journalism.
