Simon Forman@infobeautiful The less common an event, the more newsworthy it is.
luca@infobeautiful Media sell on emotional attention. A death by heart stroke is emotionally critical for a close person, but on a wide public, far from that person, has a smaller impact than an homicide.
@infobeautiful A corollary is that we're struck most by "the least ordinary". An "extraordinary" death is perceveid as more dangerous by our amygdala, requiring more attention. Here you have what news and ads are targetting.
lemgandiInteresting, but incomplete. News coverage of causes of death also correlates with years of life lost. A 90 year old dies of heart failure? So What? A 12 year old is murdered? Now you have a story.
emeritrixyes, though slightly misleading on Covid since infection with SARS-Cov-2 contributes to every single one of the causes of death listed above it.

By the way, you can't consider a study on the consumption of THC a formidable study if the subjects ingesting the compound are consuming it with variable consumption methods like blunt wraps, NEXT QUESTION.
