Yes, Iran is sexy news - but what about Fiji?

The widespread national election result protests in Iran are eye-catching, politically compelling and happening right now.
Consequently the mainstream media is all over the subject even though getting hard news out of that country is currently difficult.
Without wanting to talk down the situation in Iran, it does place into stark relief the media's attitude to Fiji which earlier this year had its democratic institutions and processes stolen away by a military dictator.
After a week or so of intermittent news coverage of the Fiji coup the matter effectively slipped into newsprint oblivion.
In recent days it has only rated a few low-level mentions of Australian and New Zealand plans to lobby for the UN to remove Fiji military personnel from its peacekeeping forces.
Over to you Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
