World News (also known as international news or foreign coverage) is news that comes from another country or from around the globe. This can include national news as well as news about topics that affect the entire world. These stories are often reported on by newspapers and television stations that have international correspondents. They often include international sports, business, and entertainment news.

In the 19th century, newspapers began to appear in many countries. Later, innovations in telecommunications made it easier to spread news from overseas. This led to the establishment of news agencies. Today, news agencies exist in many countries. Among the most renowned news agencies are AFP, Reuters, AP, and Wolff. World news also includes sub-fields such as war journalism. For example, a war correspondent or special envoy may be sent to a specific region to report on a particular issue.

Despite the importance of reading news, you should not use it to support your own personal beliefs. Rather, use it to learn more about world events and keep your own opinions in check. The goal of World News Day is to spread awareness about the importance of fact-based journalism. In addition to international issues, world news may also cover events that affect local communities.
