How news works

[callmemadam]

The entire England ODI squad has to self-isolate after some positive testing. A team put together in two days has two good WINS over Pakistan and it merits not a mention on the news. The England football team LOSE and it’s the only story.

My explanation is that cricket is not free-to-air on television.

That's definitely the largest part of it. When the world cup final was made free to air the support and interest in cricket sky rocketed.

Yes, I feel very strongly about it, especially for children. Watching the highlights, you see a lot of children at the matches and loving it. How many more if they could watch it?
