Once again, this feels like a media-related story is being given undue prominence because it's what interests people in the media

Today, of course, the most important story going on in the world are new BBC social media guidelines. Top on BBC News website, 12 minutes on it at 11:00 TOTH, then covered from 11:45 until the TOTH, after which it was again given 13 minutes of coverage. Then we moved on to the much less important story of 65,000 people being ethnically cleansed out of Nagorno-Karabahk. Plus, of course, devoting 13 minutes to a nothing story (and one of only four stories in that half-hour) was part of "News Now - three hours of fast-moving news".
