World news is the jargon used by journalists to refer to international events. It is the branch of journalism that deals with news originating outside of a nation-state and often beyond a single continent. This includes the news of war and peace, as well as global issues like pollution or disease. World news is often published by major news agencies – organizations that prepare articles that can be distributed to individual newspapers, magazines or radio and television outlets with little or no modification. They typically sell their reports in bulk, originally via telegraph, and more recently over the Internet. The reporters who gather this news are known as correspondents, and those that work freelance, without a contract with a particular news organization, are stringers.
