minus-squareNaryn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year ago Please just focus on the capsized boat if you want people to focus about the capsized boat. The story is about how news media focus on certain topics over others. It’s using the Titan submersible and the Libyan disaster as examples for it. The money, time and effort to save the Titan submersible has been huge, whereas the same effort has ignored this incident. People will pay more attention to this if it’s its own story. “What about” tends to get poor coverage and media attention. There have been articles about this, they don’t get any traction nor do they get sympathy because of the people on board the boat.
