Is there really zero media coverage when terrorist attacks happen in countries outside Europe and the U.S., as many have alleged on social media?
Of course not: Many outlets cover the Middle East and Africa, and recent attacks in both have garnered headlines worldwide. Still, some social media users insist entire portions of the globe are ignored. Why?
The answer is complicated. The truth is, these stories are covered by the media, though certainly less thoroughly when a bomb goes off in Baghdad as opposed to Brussels. The perception of what gets covered, and what doesn t, reflects how people view and relate to the world and to their location, according to terrorism and media experts.
