One-Dimensional media. Rising COVID cases Boris Johnson doesn’t want to know about
The very serious situation in Ukraine clearly warrants significant media attention. However there is a one-dimensionality around news coverage at the moment. For example cases of COVID have started to rise significantly again following Boris Johnson’s decision to end all restrictions and claim in effect that ‘it’s over’. Even 3 months ago this would have warranted headlines and extensive discussion.
Ian Sample’s report (Guardian 10.3) on the current state of infections is useful and a reminder that Ukraine should not be the only news story.

What about Sue Gray’s form? Do we get to see what parties the Johnson attended? And the fines?
