Why are some lynchings front page news and some not?

'Across the country -- in Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Manipur, Delhi, Bihar, West Bengal -- men were lynched on suspicion of being thieves by ordinary people armed with rods and sticks.''But none of these lynchings made big news.''None of these lynchings were cow/beef-related.''The perpetrators were unknown people, not so-called gau rakshaks.''So why were these instances of mob violence considered less newsworthy than cow-related lynchings?' asks Jyoti Punwani.
