Western Media Double Standard

Western Media Double Standard

Al Jazeera's Listening Post examines the murders of two Muslim women, and how only one of them caught the Western media's attention. Both were young Muslim women standing up for their right to free expression, whose murders caused outrage throughout the Arab and Muslim world. But only Neda Sultan, whose dying moments during a Tehran street protest were broadcast on televisions and computer screens, made news the world over. Mosaic's producer Jamal Dajani, a contributor to the Listening Post, and other experts try to answer why only one of these women has been turned into a martyr by the Western news media, and the other virtually ignored.
