Resumé/Abstract: The increasing intensification of interconnectedness and fragmentation is a defining feature of our globalized reality. Cultural exchanges and influences flow continuously along blurred lines and our lives are more than ever shaped by these somewhat fluid, complex and at times unclear interactions. These cultural complexities of our present day global reality, emphasize the necessity of asking how foreign news can move beyond the impasse of the objectivity norm and forward towards improving its grasp on these globalised realities with an eye on qualifying cultural understanding and value inclusion. This thesis seeks inspiration from interpretive anthropology and narratology towards informing a value inclusive foreign journalism practice of cultural interpretation. With the aim of articulating and proposing perspectives for a more dialogic and culturally sensitive approach to foreign news reporting, the thesis provides a critical contextualization, promoting the need for a pragmatic and realist approach to foreign news which is simultaneously informed from key theoretical and practical concepts in Clifford Geertz´ Thick Description and Nora Bernings Critical Ethical Narratology. On the basis of these theoretical and practical concepts the thesis analyzes three foreign news articles with the aim of identifying and proposing key perspectives for a epistemologically sound, culturally sensitive and dialogic journalistic practice. The thesis demonstrates that narrative strategies and cultural analysis are mutually conductive, enabling journalists to engage readers ethically in stories from foreign cultures. The thesis concludes by putting forth a set of journalistic guidelines, providing journalists with useful tools towards a value-inclusive foreign journalism practice of cultural interpretation. In addition the proposed perspectives are tested and demonstrated by producing two articles from India
