In the era of globalization, the paramount role of communication for sustainable development through mass media is to educate people about the vicious nature and the stifling dependency relationship and helps to shift to a dynamic, industrialized, centralized planning society. According to Nora C. Quebral (University of London, December 2011), it is the art and science of human communication, applied to the speedy transformation of a country and the mass of its people from poverty to a dynamic state of economic growth that makes possible greater social equality and the larger fulfilment of human potential. In this research work, 14 countries from Asia and 4 countries from North America were considered and from each country, one leading English morning daily were taken. Time period was 2006 to 2016. It is found that, science news has least space share than all types of news in Asia, but the situation is reversed in N-America and particularly than crime news. It is the time to change the scenario.
