A lot of it has to do with how much news comes out of other countries. I wondered about it a few years ago when there was a natural disaster in asia which affected a lot of people but we weren't getting much if anything about it in the news here. It was pointed out to me that it often comes down to whether they have video to go with the story - and of course with developed countries, they most often do.
As far as the financial situation, what is happening in developed nations is more relevant to us, because they are our trading partners and what happens there effects us - so it's natural that is what the financial and political new stories tend to focus on.
I agree that the news should be more balanced, though. |

The news is biased in every country because that is what the local
people like. News about their own country I think gives them
a sense of nationalism.
I don't watch the news much because alot of it is made up.
When the tsunami struck thailand I was there and CNN and the BBC
looked like idiots trying to explain really what was going on but the local Thai tv knew. |

Not really, I mean they cover the major things like the tsunami a couple of years back & the atrocities in Rwanda when the tutsi's, etc were chopping each other up X amount of years ago.
If you want more international flavour try watching the BBC news on tv one after midnight, it runs all night & does cover alot of third world countries & the Arab world. |

Why not?
That is basically the way New Zealanders see themselves.
Why should our news slant toward Argentina or Guinea-Bassau or Aden or Surinam?
Where do you think our news should favour?
Ethnic groups within NZ such as Chinese, Dutch, Vietnamese, Latvian etc have their own news papers which are of no interest to anyone outside these groups. |
