So, here's something I wanted to chuck out for discussion and see what people make of it. This seems like the best thread.
Two students drown, one in [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-26406035"]Derby[/URL], one in [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-26422745"]York[/URL]. Both went missing within a week of each other in January and sparked missing person investigations over the several weeks it took to recover their bodies. Both seem to have drowned accidentally after a night out. Despite the remarkable similarities, only one story makes the national news, whilst the other barely makes my local news.
So my question is this; did Megan get more coverage because she was an attractive young woman or did Nadish not get the same coverage because of his skin colour?
