With regard to this situation, Fung Chien-san, a professor in the department of journalism at National Chengchi University, says that lack of interest in international news is a global phenomenon, one which confronts the whole world's media. Most Americans, for example, have never been much concerned about events outside of the United States.
針對這種現象，政治大學新聞系教授馮建三指出，國際新聞不受重視，是世界各國普遍的現象，也是全世界媒體的共同問題，大部分美國人就從不關心美國以外的事務。
