Coverage of the Ethiopian crash is grimly revealing. Every headline focuses on the 7 Brits lost rather than the 149 people in total. Every story has a picture of the white woman who died. If no Brit had been on that plane it wouldn't have made the front page.

My point wasn't that they shouldn't mention that Brits died it was that most of them (Guardian and Independent excepted) didn't mention anyone else.
-
The first paragraph of every news story I’ve read on this crash has stated that 157 people died.
-
The Mail front page only features a picture of Joanna Toole. Most of the others mention the 157 figure but don't mention any nationality (let alone individual) other than Brits and the Irish man.

The Daily Mail front page is a photo caption not a news article. I really do think you’re mistaken on this, Sam.

Right so they are racist too then!!! Think that’s the point he’s making. Loss of life just as terrible regardless of nationality!

Really????Is that your argument ? Two of the Kenyan magazines report the Kenyans news first and what the British newspapers are doing right by reporting as if only British people died?
