Re: 31 kids died in Syria yesterday

[tei]

Well, if you're the person who brought it up in the Boston thread, then you didn't exactly pick the best way to introduce the topic either. But thank you for posting the article-- it's a good thing to know about, and it's too bad that it didn't get more coverage, but I also never quite know how to get worked up about these things. To some extent it's natural that, even in this day and age, news is still reported somewhat locally, and news happening in North America will be presented as a "bigger deal" than news outside of North America. Not necessarily because of racism (although it's possible that that is also a factor, or just oversaturation of bad news from overseas), just because that's where people's priorities lie-- close to them. You prioritize the things that directly affect you highest (was there an explosion on my street?), then things that affect people definitely know (was there an explosion in my city?) then people you might know some of or know indirectly (was there an explosion in my country?) then things that probably don't affect people you know (was there an explosion on a different continent?) There's no point getting so angry when North American media report North American news. It's just the way people work.

That's not to say that there shouldn't be reporting of news outside North America. Obviously there are plenty of people here for whom Syrian news is local news because they have friends or relatives there, and it's important to also have international news just to have perspective and a sense of what events are shaping global forces. I'm just saying, when there's an explosion in Boston and American media go batshit, it's for good reason.
