This week we sat down with Matthew Lawrence and Madilyn Jantz, two of a private sponsor group for Syrian families in Winnipeg, to talk about how the crisis has been covered in the West, and specifically why there's so little coverage until too late. We touch on the photo of Alan Kurdi that sparked a huge response from people in the US and Canada, the crucial role of social media in people sharing their stories from Aleppo today, and the moral imperative of news media to let the world know when such tragedies are happening. It's a painful and complex issue, but it's important to take the time to consider what could be done different in these situations.
