  4. We lived in an American century • But will it last for ever? We live in a time of transition

  5. What could change the current world order? • Other rising nations and groups of nations: -China -Japan -India -The European Union

  6. The next few years • We have seen the balance of global economic power will shift towards Asia, powered by China, Japan and India. • As the European Union expands and consolidates, it might become a significant player • The rise of a multi-polar world? How will the US react to this?

  7. The subjects of international news are changing • Traditionally, international news has occupied itself with war, disasters, crises, and diplomacy. • The new 21st agenda for international news, is much broader and more exciting • It will be driven not so much by the formal relations between nations, but the consequences of globalisation.

  8. But the old subjects have not gone away • War, natural disasters, conflicts, diplomatic meetings are still important

  9. The news industry is changing as well • Earlier news organisations used to maintain correspondents overseas • Only a few can afford to do so now

  10. Most international news comes from the global news agencies • AP • Reuters • AFP • BBC • CNN
