For example, you often have to make decisions about what information is important, since your space is limited. I've seen numerous posts on GC related to the media's coverage of Greeks, where people believe that unflattering incidents get too much coverage and more positive things are glossed over. In this case, even if the media is trying to be fair, reporters and editors are making decisions about what's important enough to be printed/broadcast, and that ultimately affects the image of Greeks. It works the same way with other subjects. For example, the U.S. media gives lots of attention to Middle Eastern terrorists, and ignores more positive things. So we tend to equate Arabs with terrorism, even though only a small minority of Arabs actually advocate violence.

Do you have numbers or anything on these or are you also just guessing along? Perhaps you know what the positive things are and aren't sharing. Perhaps you speak for a "we" when you're really speaking for a "you".
