Press agencies are one of the main sources of journalistic reporting, especially on events
outside our borders. Due to the general reduction of financial resources in media houses, more
expensive methods of foreign reporting, such as correspondents, are being abandoned. As a
result, the media are increasingly dependent on agency news. This thesis is based on the
assumption that national television relies more on information from foreign correspondents,
while commercial television has fewer foreign correspondents and relies more on agency
sources and information. The empirical part examines four time periods between 1996 and
2024. In weekly segments, I study the media reporting of the main news programs "24ur" and "Dnevnik". The thesis examines the development of reporting on foreign news during the
mentioned period and the differences that arise in the sources and criteria for selecting
international journalistic contributions. A key process in the preparation of news in daily
informational media production is selection. International news is geographically and
typologically selected according to the interests and perspective of the global capital elite. The
purpose of this work is to investigate the characteristics on which the media base their
decisions to include events from abroad. Using selection criteria, the task answers the
question of the scope of domestic media reporting on news from other countries of the world.
