On November 24th, in a follow up to the two attacks against foreign tourists this year, Tunisian terrorists struck the centre of the capital killing 12 soldiers and police officers. The only mistake they unintentionally made was from a publicity point of view. The attacks in Paris and the Russian fighter jet shot down by the Turks took place on the same day of the Tunis attack, pushing the news back to fourth of fifth place. This shows how little importance, for many information outlets, is attached to events taking place in “other” countries when the news, at first glance, concerns situations happening in “distant” places. They did achieve one goal; the declaration of a state of emergency.
