Foreign Correspondents in the Age of Digital Networks Framing the New News Producers

Summary/Abstract: The overall framework of International News Reporting is changing. If, on one hand, the financial contraction inside media companies is encouraging the erosion of basic structural elements – the number of overseas delegations, correspondents and special assignments – on the other, the flourishing of digital networks is not only reconfiguring the socio-professional basis of foreign correspondence, but also having impact on a «morphology of global governance». Departing from this hypothesis, based on a comprehensive literature review, this essay attempts a typology for the modern foreign reporter’s function and culture, confronting it with the contemporary transnational actors in game.
