Global News Media: Countering Western Hegemony in International News explores the bias and disinformation in Western media, particularly in its coverage of the Ukraine War and the Gaza genocide. This book presents un-Western perspectives on international news and its sources. Drawing from the New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) debates of the 1970s, it highlights the ongoing relevance of these principles in assessing the cultural bias of Western reporting. It also examines the multidirectional perspectives offered by rising non-Western media networks like Al Jazeera, CGTN, Republic, Firstpost, RT and Press TV. The book challenges blind faith in Western concepts of democracy and free speech and questions whether the West truly practices what it preaches, as it attempts to block non-Western media from reaching Western audiences. A valuable resource for journalism and international communication studies, particularly in Asia and the Global South, this book also offers Western students insight into non-Western views on Western values.
