World news or international news or even foreign coverage is the news media jargon for news from abroad, about a country or a global subject. For journalism, it is a branch that deals with news either sent by foreign correspondents or news agencies, or — more recently — information that is gathered or researched through distance communication technologies, such as telephone, satellite TV or the internet.
Although in most of the English-speaking world this field is not usually regarded as a specific specialization for journalists, it is so in nearly all the world. Particularly in the United States, there is a blurred distinction between world news and "national" news when they include directly the national government or national institutions, such as wars in which the US are involved or summits of multilateral organizations in which the US are a member.
Actually, at the birth of modern journalism, most news were actually foreign, as registered by the courants of the 17th century in West and Central Europe, such as the Daily Courant (England), the Nieuwe Tijudinger (Antwerp), the Relation (Strasbourg), the Avisa Relation oder Zeitung (Wolfenbüttel) and the Courante Uyt Italien, Duytsland & C. (Amsterdam). Since these papers were aimed at bankers and merchants, they brought mostly news from other markets, which usually meant other nations. In any case, it is worthy to remark that nation-states were still incipient in 17th-century Europe.
World News may refer to one of the following sources that covers international news:
The World News (Chinese: 菲律賓世界日報; pinyin: Fēilǜbīn Shìjiè Rìbào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hui-li̍p-pin Sè-kài Ji̍t-pò, lit. "Philippine World News") is a daily broadsheet newspaper in the Philippines written in the Chinese language. Founded in 1981 after the lifting of martial law, it is currently the Philippines' largest Chinese-language newspaper in terms of circulation.
The World News was founded in 1981 by Florencio Tan Mallare (Chinese: 陳華岳; pinyin: Chén Huáyuè; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Hôa-ga̍k), a lawyer from Macalelon, Quezon who also worked as a reporter for the Chinese Commercial News. After the normalization of relations between the Philippines and the People's Republic of China in 1975, Mallare established the World News as an alternative to the largely pro-Taiwan, pro-Kuomintang mainstream Chinese-language press, catering to both Chinese Filipinos who would prefer news about China from other points of view as well as the growing number of mainland Chinese migrants to the Philippines who did not necessarily share the pro-Taiwan stance of more established Chinese Filipinos.
All-news radio is a radio format devoted entirely to the discussion and broadcast of news.
All-news radio is available in both local and syndicated forms, and is carried in some form on both major US satellite radio networks. All-news stations can run the gamut from simulcasting an all-news television station like CNN, to a "rip and read" headline service, to stations that include live coverage of news events and long-form public affairs programming.
Many stations brand themselves Newsradio but only run continuous news during the morning and afternoon drive times. These stations are properly labeled as "news/talk" talk radio stations. Also, some National Public Radio stations identify themselves as News and Information stations, which means that in addition to running the NPR news magazines like Morning Edition and All Things Considered, they run other information and public affairs programs.
According to a Wikipedia site for 1100 KFAX radio in San Francisco, Calif., what had been KJBS radio changed to KFAX in late 1959 when the station changed formats from music, news, and sports, to become the nation's first all-news radio station. However, this experiment proved unsuccessful.
WNEW-FM (99.1 FM; "Bloomberg 99.1 and 105.7 HD2") is a radio station currently broadcasting a business news format since a slight revamping of its recent all-news format in mid-December 2015. Licensed to the eastern suburb of Bowie, Maryland, in Prince George's County, it serves the central Maryland and northern Virginia metropolitan areas of Baltimore, Maryland/Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by CBS Radio. Its transmitter is located near Crofton, Maryland in suburban central Anne Arundel County to the east, and the broadcasting studios are located near the Washington Navy Yard along the north/west bank of the Anacostia River (Eastern Branch of the Potomac River) in Southeast Washington. WNEW often airs D.C. United soccer and Washington Wizards pro basketball games in the NBA due to sister station WJFK-FM, 106.7 "The Fan" usually already covering a game elsewhere.
The 99.1 MHz frequency was originally WNAV-FM, licensed to Annapolis, Maryland and featuring a beautiful music format. It competed with similar stations in both the Baltimore and Washington markets. In 1983, the station changed calls to WLOM-FM.

I am the voice
I am the radio
You hear me loud and clear
Across the open sky
Into the night
You hear me loud and clear
I was thinking you're a part of my mind
Breathing sleeping talking two of a kind
I'm the voice in your head
(do you read me)
The word you just said
(do you hear me)
Aah - the world goes spinning around
Aah - and you all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
I feel the pain
I feel the joy and love
You hear it loud and clear
But should the music stop
I'll feel so low
I'll fade and disappear
I'm just thinking that we're two of a kind
Think I know what's going on in your mind
When the red light goes on
(can you tell me)
Is your green light still on
(do your hear me)
Aah - the world goes spinning around
Aah - and you all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
The world goes spinning around
Aah - we all join in with the sound
Aah - we sing with one voice
Like a world radio
We join in with the sound
The world goes spinning, spinning around
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
[Solo]
Aah - we sing with one voice
We're a world radio
Radio
Is the green light on
(can you tell me)
Don't put your red light on
(do you read me)
I know the green light's on
Don't put, don't put your red light on
