ABSTRACT This study examines a networked global media system by discerning what drives international news flow in multiple dimensions. A network analysis of news coverage from news websites in 67 countries and their interactions in 2015 reveals that structural factors not only predict a country’s international attention – but also its transnational intermedia agenda-setting (IAS) power – the power to influence international discourse. Rationales that drive different dimensions of news flow vary. For instance, our results show that economically influential and more populous countries continue to set the world news agenda in reporting international politics, but smaller countries may have the potential to determine how their own countries are portrayed by the outside world. In addition, trade volume explains international news flow in several ways. Overall, this article advances prior literature by demonstrating that international news flow is multilayered, networked, and possesses systemness and fluidity.

国际新闻流的预测：探索网络化的全球媒体系统

摘要 本研究通过从多个维度辨别推动国际新闻流动的因素来检验网络化的全球媒体系统。2015 年对 67 个国家/地区新闻网站的新闻报道及其互动的网络分析表明，结构性因素不仅可以预测一个国家的国际关注度，还可以预测其跨国跨媒体议程设置 (IAS) 力量——影响国际话语的力量。推动新闻流不同维度的基本原理各不相同。例如，我们的结果表明，经济上有影响力和人口较多的国家继续在报道国际政治时设定世界新闻议程，但较小的国家可能有潜力决定外部世界如何描述自己的国家。此外，贸易量从几个方面解释了国际新闻流。
