2006 LIST OF '10 STORIES THE WORLD SHOULD HEAR MORE ABOUT'

Concerned that some issues continue not to receive sustained media attention or slip off the radar screen, the United Nations Department of Public Information (DPI) has unveiled a new list of "Ten Stories the World Should Hear More About."

"The media and the UN share an interest in getting information about what is happening in our world to the public," says Shashi Tharoor, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information. "But journalists are often inundated with stories, all competing for their — and the public's — attention. Our aim is to make it easier for them to see that important issues do not fade from the headlines."

The list, covers a wide range of stories — from the plight of asylum seekers and refugees in ongoing conflicts to earthquake relief and post-war reconstruction — that received little or no play in the world media.
