*About the Book*
The United Kingdom’s 2016 European Union referendum, and its Brexit 
outcome, were major international events that fuelled significant media 
coverage in both British and international contexts. However, did news 
media around the world construct a homogenous global narrative? If so, 
how? One BBC News story portrayed international newspapers as framing 
Brexit as an international crisis akin to a natural disaster. This book 
examines these themes through an engagement with international political 
communication theories that provide useful concepts like the 
‘domestication’ and ‘globalization’ of news content. The project 
includes a contextual preface and 20 chapters, 18 of which form case 
studies that analyse media representations of the EU referendum and 
Brexit across 18 global locales, contributed to by 25 scholars from 
across the world. The majority of cases show evidence of the 
domestication of news content. The book argues that news media serving 
locales with closer cultural, political and economic proximities to the 
European Union contributed more intensive discourses in reporting the 
road to Brexit.
