‘In the world system, Unequal cultivation of news on International media landscape' A content analysis of International news on Google news is a study which is related to the coverage of news by the global news media. According to the NWICO, all the nations should be treated as equal on the international news platforms. The present study is based on Google news. The objective of the research is to find out which country and which medium is dominant on the global news media. The researcher has selected the three editions (India, UK, & USA) of the Google news and collected 450 news articles. In this study, the researcher has used a mixed method approach (i.e. qualitative and quantitative) with methodological triangulation. The findings of the study indicate that only powerful and core zone countries are dominant in the world news system. The result has also shown that “Newspaper” sites are prominently used by the news aggregator. The study concludes that the USA is the main center point for international news media rather than other core countries. Thus we can say that inequality among the nations and the world system affects the equal coverage of news by the international news media. At last, we can also state that “Print media” is the most reliable medium for the world news rather than Television and Newswires sites on the global media landscape.
