How is globalization being covered on television news? The timeline below shows total mentions of the term across CNN, MSNBC and Fox News over the past decade, showing a relatively flat number of mentions except for a surge from mid-2016 to late 2017. Surprisingly, there is no major increase over the course of the pandemic, despite the outsized focus on globalized supply chains. Coverage of geographically distributed supply chains thus appears to be contextualized strictly as a supply chain issue, rather than intertwined with globalization.
