World news, also called international news or foreign coverage, refers to news from around the world. It can be local or international, and can be about a country or a global subject. For example, the news about the earthquake in Haiti may be considered world news. World news is more international than local, but it can still be about the local community.

World news is important to audiences because it can help them make sense of a complicated world. Professional newsrooms interpret events and provide context to help audiences connect the dots. For this reason, World News Day is an opportunity to celebrate the value of good journalism. It’s a reminder of the value of independent media and the importance of reporting and interpretation.
