Vertical flow

B.

Counter flow

C.

 Circular flow

D.

Horizontal flow

Answer 1

The final answer:

The correct answer is: B. Counter flow

Explanation:



The Oscar Pistorius story, a high-profile case from South Africa, received widespread international coverage. This is an example of counter flow, where news from the Global South or developing countries flows to and gains attention in the Global North, challenging the traditional pattern where news primarily flows from powerful Western countries to the rest of the world.
