Özet: This study shows the existence of horizontal news flow between periphery countries in contrast to the assumptions of Johan Galtung who saw the absence of horizontal interaction between peripheries independent on Western or Center media agencies. The dominance of Iranian news channel, Press TV as an important source of international news for Eritrea Profile shows that, today, there is some level of horizontal level of interaction, where bigger media agencies in the periphery nations feed media in other peripheries. This study also shows that there is persistence on particular types of news stories about certain countries, showing that periphery media select news based on their political inclinations.
