It is the third week of November, and this week’s major news coverage has been swept away with update after update of the Paris attacks. Facebook profile photos have rapidly changed to the French flag in solidarity of the incidents while there was complete silence on behalf of the victims in Lebanon, Beirut where the American University at Beirut was attacked last Thursday, the day before the Paris attacks. This post is not meant to be a comparison of the attacks themselves. It is not meant to pose one over the other. It is simply to comment on the fact that we did place more importance through media exposure on Paris and to say that was wrong. Media coverage is, in contemporary society, synonymous with the level of importance on that issue and, to not receive any news time at all, send the message that we don’t care. Tell the people of Lebanon you care for them too; solidarity via social media can make a difference!
