This report in today’s Guardian positions the intriguing question; What makes mass murder newsworthy from one place but not from another?

16 people were slaughtered in the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris and received around the clock coverage for three days on some outlets, over 2000 people were slaughtered by Islamic Extremists Boko Haram in Baga region of Nigeria. But this slaughter received almost no airtime in Western MSM mainstream media.
