This study of usages of the concept of "world opinion" in a sample of first and third world newspapers during the Cold War and post-Cold War eras proceeds in three steps First I separate the concept of world opinion into its component parts and compare the manner in which they were employed by region and historical era Second I factor analyze the concept's components within each of the comparative categories and describe the different ways in which the concept is constructed by region and area Third I explain regional differences with reference to Herman and Chomsky's 1988 thesis that national "filtering" of news stories reflects the dominant private and regime interests in a given country I also explain Cold War and post-Cold War differences in interpreta tion by Benedict Anderson's 1995 thesis that an imagined "international com munity" may be emerging due to the globalization of media World opinion as a concept reflects these two trends in modern political communication
