Manage episode 123212389 series 122279
Rem Rieder, USA Today media writer and former editor of American Journalism Review, talks with the Newseum Institute’s Gene Policinski about lingering criticism that U.S. and European news media gave saturation news coverage to the Nov. 13 ISIS attacks and deaths in Paris, but much less – if at all – coverage to bombings in Beirut and Nigeria at virtually the same time. Is it cultural insensitivity, valid news judgment, or what some are calling “empathy fatigue”?
