NEW YORK Sept. 18th - Foreign
Affairs, Foreign Policy, The New York Times and Bloomberg all have different
approaches when it come to reporting on world issues.
Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs share the fact that they are both specialized on world issues, where as The New York Times and Bloomberg have a world section within the larger issue. Foreign Affairs strives to be an intellectual journal. It publishes a print magazine every two months but also publishes articles everyday on its website. They favor in depth reporting. Even on the website, the articles show up as big headlines, all taking up the same space showing that they are all analytical news article.Foreign Policy, on the other hand, presents itself much more as a puzzle of news where one can pick according to one’s interests. Foreign Affairs is more focused on world issues from a political studies perspective, where as Foreign Policy tries to be a world news bank accessible for anyone who is curious. Foreign Policy, which has a web platform and publishes 6 magazine issues annually, is interesting in how innovative its web platform is, exploring multimedia journalism. In the “Galleries” section they have photo essays, infographics, and a map room section, which moves away from the more traditional in depth reporting to multidisciplinary ways of seeing and learning about world news. These multimedia presentations make the news a didactic tool which is not only theoretical but also experimental.
Bloomberg is a business-oriented news source. Their world news is divided in one main “special report” and then the other news stories, which are more factual and concise. All their world articles talk about an issue which is related to economics or finance. The NYT is opposite of Bloomberg with an almost humanistic approach to world news. Their world section is divided by region as well as editorials and Op-Eds. The NYT also has very strong photography work which accompanies articles and supports the article as a report and not simply a news headline. Their world section doesn’t focus only on main events but also stories and niche topics. Where as Bloomberg has a more business practical approach, the NYT is more about storytelling.
All these news outlets, in their variations of presenting world news, reflect diverse journalistic methods of treating world news. The approach and presentation of the news depends on the mission of the individual outlet.
