For the purposes of this class, consider what is "international news" vs. "local news" through the eyes of the people affected by your research topic. If your topic focuses on one region of one country, local news will be news reports published in that immediate region. Think of small town local newspapers or the nearest city's major newspapers. International news would be any news published outside that country by foreign reporters.
Is the report a factual report or an opinion piece? Look for clues in the title and in the tone of the text. Opinion pieces are typically clearly labeled as such, but if a report has a strongly persuasive tone without verifiable facts, take note that it may not be the best source for unbiased information. Even so, a source like this could potentially reveal what people think about your topic (if the reporter is local or interviewing locals), which could still be useful for your research.
