Jerameel Lu, a talented pencil artist, posted this image to criticize the media’s response to the tragic attacks that happened this weekend in Paris. As he writes on his Facebook page, “this piece is only against the almost unequal treatment of the world media on every terrorism act.” On Thursday, Beirut was also hit with double suicide bombings, and many perceive that the media was not nearly as responsive to these events as it was to those in France.

What do you think ?

I don't exactly agree, I'm sorry, but the things that have been happening in the rest of the world have been happening for a long time....however, thats not to say that means they don't matter. What happened in Paris was something very unexpected, which is understandable why we are so focused on it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there is enough coverage of what IS happening elsewhere, but why are we having a go at the people trying to make sense of the shock and horror of what happened in Paris?

I agree with this. Also I'd add that what media needs is a story, a scoop. They hunt for unusual things to show you, to make their program more interesting, and they don't wanna have always the same news. This is why they don't cover as much of the long lasting war countries. But my personal opinion is indeed we should have more coverage, so we can have more transparency on what the leaders are actually doing, because nowadays we're all interconnected.
