Preferred term

print foreign correspondents  

Definition

  • In 1928, the Chicago Tribune's Pictured Encyclopedia of the World's Greatest Newspaper defined foreign news in romantic terms, arguing that, at the mere mention of the words “we catch visions of a pith-helmeted correspondent dashing into the Sahara on camelback after a flying column of the Foreign Legion; we see another seated at a desk in some battlemented European castle, interviewing a statesman who holds the destiny of a nation in his hands; we envisage voyages on Chinese junks, airplane flights over the Holy Land, and all the color and lure of seeing distant countries and reporting international affairs.” In a time when foreign newsgathering is more than ever a matter of national security, these descriptions are only partially true. Traditional print correspondents are still an elite (upper middle class, according to media researcher Stephen Hess). [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; Foreign Correspondents, Print]
