The disparity in media coverage following the murders in Manhattan has raised questions about bias in reporting, particularly concerning the socioeconomic status and background of the victims, with notable differences in the volume of articles devoted to each case.
Despite the shocking nature of both killings, the New York Times' lack of coverage on the murder of Yeremi Colino not only highlights a troubling gap in media attention, but also signals broader societal issues surrounding race and immigrant status in reporting.
While Brian Thompson's murder has seen over 40 articles, Yeremi Colino's death—potentially a hate crime—was scarcely acknowledged, sparking debates about which lives are deemed newsworthy.
The circumstances surrounding Colino's murder involve a clear act of violence against migrants, yet the absence of coverage in a leading newspaper indicates a selective approach to reporting on violence connected to marginalized communities.
