Summary/Abstract: This paper is founded on the hypothesis that the reporting of foreign policy by the Macedonian daily newspaper Vecher in 2013, is greatly influenced by the global media. The 1983 media materials are radically different due to the fact that there was little to no influence from such media giants. We begin the study by using the method of quantitative content analysis. The data analyzed was gathered over a four month period, using the issues printed from the years 2013 and 1983. The most frequently used sources of information in 2013 were foreign national and regional media, while the most quoted source of information in 1983 was the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug. International reports from the leading Macedonian newspaper in these two different time periods are mostly geared toward information about actual events that were happening on the northern continents and regions of the Earth.
