The flow and structure of international news are obviously important factors in shaping the picture of the world in our minds. Therefore, the scientific study of the flow and structure of international news is also important. In 1965, Galtung & Holmboe Ruge published a theory of international news which has proved seminal. Several papers have used it as a starting-point for discussions and further investigations (Smith 1969; Cheesmann 1970; Rosengren 1970; Sande 1971). It has also been anthologized (Tunstall 1970). In the present paper, the flow and structure of international news in general and the Galtung-Ruge theory in particular will be discussed from a methodological, an empirical and a theoretical perspective. Let us start with the methodology.
