Which is the important story today

The one the newspapers covered or the one they did not?

Those Covered:

• Fire at China club leaves 43 dead
• Czech ambassador among 53 dead in Islamabad hotel bombing

The story they didn't cover:

• Today, over 26,500 children died around the world

I find myself unable to adequately address the failure of the media to put stories in their true perspective.

If the average American really understood that most of these kids die because no one cares enough to save them, would we really act as we do in the world?

For Developing Countries
