Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 The western media has very little interest in the bird flu story at this point in time. I think that they believe that the story has played out, having climaxed with the stories about the ABC movie that they seemed to enjoy ridiculing. There was another small flurry of excitement with the Indonesia cluster and the H2H component to that story, but then it was over. This may be a reflection of the general public's weariness of hearing about bird flu as much as it is the media's lack of interest in it. Will the media still be reluctant to run bird flu stories when it finally becomes apparent that it is passing effeciently from human to human? And will the general public be willing to pay attention at that point? I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
