World news (also referred to as international news or foreign coverage) is the term used for reporting on events occurring in other countries. It is a branch of journalism and may be used by newspapers, magazines, radio and television broadcasters.

Global issues that ripple through multiple nations include trade agreements, monetary policy, technology development and humanitarian crises. Understanding the broader impacts of such trends is important for understanding their impact on you and your family.

You can find reputable international news sources through subscription service providers in most major U.S. cities. These services provide access to the latest international news from top-tier newspapers and magazines.

The best world news publications focus on editorial content rather than breaking hard news stories. They also deliver nuanced interpretations of trending headlines.
