Press Coverage Of The Civil War's In El Salvador And Guatemala

[Brian-Ghilliotti]

During the 1980's, why did the anti leftist conflict in El Salvador get so much American press attention, while a similar anti leftist conflict in Guatemala, which was just as brutal and bloody, stayed totally off the media's radar -to the point that most Americans didn't even know it was happening? I presume one possible answer is the fact that perhaps Guatemala did not rely so much on US military aid funding; however, that may have not been the case.

Looking at your stream of questions today on various conflicts and the lack of sufficiently in depth answers, although Answerbank is really good for most topics, I'm wondering whether you need to find a specialist history site for these questions
