It wouldn't make much sense for the news to report on things which were not newsworthy. That people die from very typical things people always die from just isn't news.
- troels 9y agoBut people have always died from violence. It's hardly news.
- pdpi 9y agoFewer people die to violence now than they ever did. That’s what makes it news.
- BoiledCabbage 9y agoSo by the argument, the more terrorism kills, the less it should be reported? I think it's clear it's not due to its infrequency that it's reported on so much.
- fyi1183 9y agoAre you sure about that? I haven't actually lived through the Troubles in England, but my understanding is that while terrorist acts were obviously reported by the news, there was much less hysteria than for today's much rarer terrorist events.
