Madam, - As the various media factions scramble for the most sensational story, backed in the main by their commercially driven editors, a moment's thought for the millions experiencing famine in Africa, a country which for many reasons has failed tragically to capture the world's attention and which once again has been sidelined to media oblivion. - Yours, etc.,
MARY DONOHOE,
Merlyn Road,
Dublin 4.
