"When we saw this image, there was no other that seemed more apt to lead our website on March 15th, the day Syria entered its fifth year of misery and mayhem. Its fifth year of slaughter. Several human rights groups, and many Syrians, had a powerful accusation to make that day. The world, they said, had failed the country and her people. The world didn't care anymore... On the anniversary, we published a lot of content. ...all of it fronted with the bloodied woman, that gaze taking up most of the screen. But the number of people who came to our site that day was far lower than expected. As we watched the analytics, tracked our traffic, that stinging accusation of apathy seemed justified... When we tweeted the accusation that the world didn't care, many people retweeted it. But most didn't click the link to read our stories. " - You probably won't read this piece about Syria — Medium
