    Avoiding centralized news coverage

    Hurricane Harvey has been all over the news recently, and understandably. But comparatively, I've barely heard of the floods in South Asia, with more than 1,000 deaths and even more victims. My point is not to diminish the severity of what happened in Texas, but that we need to also remember to not focus all coverage on national issues only.

    Very few articles such as http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/29/547078456/floods-in-south-asia-have-killed-more-than-1-000-people-this-summer have been published by major news outlets. This seems to isolate the US from the rest of the world.
