“World media” by Leemarej #PrayForTheWorld
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.
I see what you're saying, and it's right, but it is true that the media chose to focus on the bombing of Paris even when at the same time other places were bombed in that same mission.
Because it doesn't make sense without looking at the bigger picture.
Are you even a human -_- , in Syria it's been 5 years because of the picture above, and you are missing the point please!
Yeah long time.. Long time, 2003 when the US started bombing Iraq/Afgan.. The ME was a LOT safer the South America before 2003..
Hmmm, I'm sorry but war has many sides, I wish for world peace and that it was insured that innocent people were not killed in the process when all they are doing is trying to live their lives but let's not forgot what caused this all to begin in 2001, America was attacked in the most horrendous way, maybe before, I don't know, I was a kid then and unaware of how horrible this world really is... But it sounds to me like u r very one sided about this, terrorists are not something made by Americans, they are cruel, horrible people who use religion as an excuse to murder innocent people
As Muslims, we believe that taking innocent lives, spreading fear, and sowing corruption in the earth is unambiguously evil. If anyone kills a person...it is as if he kills all mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind. #Quran
Very strange:Israël is missing among countries touched by terrorism.Coincidence?I think not...
