Abstract
This chapter is an introduction to Part Three of the volume titled Regions and Cultures. This part presents an overview of journalistic practices in diverse nations, regions and cultures. Its twelve chapters span over fifteen countries, highlighting the notion of journalism practice, cultures and regions. Readers will notice that its emphasis tilts towards the Global South which occupies a prominent position in the discussions. The content brings to light current journalism practices in countries in the Middle East, North Africa, Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. The Western world, albeit much less conspicuous, is represented only in a few studies.
