Abstract | A study employed Q-methodology to determine the attitudinal structure of international (Third World) students in regard to the western news model (defined as the criteria for news evaluation and selection adopted by the western democracies). Thirty-two respondents were purposively selected, eight each from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Respondents rank-ordered statements according to their degree of agreement with the statements. Factor analysis revealed the presence of four factors among the international students studied. Two principal factors were found that typify the current state of third world views regarding western news (pro and con). Based on findings from this study, it is suggested that the currently divided Third World views concerning Western news may not change with the future change of Third World leadership, but prospects exist that can be taken advantage of. (Two figures and three tables of data are included. Fifty-one references are attached.) (Author/MG) |
