Abstract
Enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) is the basic premise that ‘all people matter’, a moral commitment to overcoming the culture of othering permeating everyday life around the globe. This premise, when considered in relation to the priorities and protocols of Western journalism, throws into sharp relief the ways in which certain ‘us and them’ dichotomies inflected in news reports recurrently counterpoise the structural interests of `people like us' against the suffering of strangers.
