5 BEST WORLD NEWS APPS FOR ANDROID

Sometimes called foreign coverage or international news, world news is primarily news stories from

outside one's country. In traditional news media, world news deals with an arm of journalism which involves gathering new stories from correspondents or a network of news affiliates or agencies based in other countries through either telephone, satellite Television feeds or the internet as we have it today. 

Traditional news agencies which specialized in the delivery of qualitative and up-to-the-minute world news stories like Reuters in the UK, DPA (formerly Wolff) in Germany, AFP in France and AP in the U.S, came to being in the early 19th century and are still operational today.

The above-listed news networks on inception had only the telegraph as their basic mode of communication in gathering world news stories from their foreign news agencies or correspondents. 

World news reporters were in high demand during World War II as the ferrying of news stories from the various battlefields was important for all and sundry including both the military and civilian populace. Professionally, there are two types of world news reporting which include Foreign Correspondence which is a full-time position with a news agency or Special Envoys who travel to foreign countries on specific missions to cover special news events and these set of journalists do not reside in those foreign countries permanently. When covering a world news story from a foreign country, the base of news gathering is usually in its capital city.

World news reporters launch-out from their base (usually a capital city) and spread out their news feelers to other regions of the country by interviewing locals, other journalists, government officials, professionals and persons with knowledge on the subject matter of the news story. Nearly everyone with internet access today has the power in their hands to get by-the-second world news stories. 

With the world becoming a global village, new technologies have sprung up to enhance human living which includes smartphones. Android-powered smartphone users today can get real-time world news stories and articles anywhere and anytime.
