Europe according to the western media.

The page Vanishing Point:

“…consists of a map of the world connected to a database fed by news coming from several international newspapers. The visibility of each country on the map results from the quantity of media coverage the country receives, so those countries that do not make the news disappear progressively.”

As you can see, Slovenia — together with Eastern Europe, Africa, South America and parts of Central Asia — pretty much don’t exist. That’s not much of a surprise. I’ve always been disappointed by the fact that “European news” has become synonymous with news about the big three. On the other hand, it’s encouraging that Slovenia isn’t the only country being ignored. It’s pretty much the whole world.

(Thanks Roman!)
