Seven steps to help shine a light on forgotten crises, p.16-17:
"The importance of media coverage and public awareness to help mobilise
funds and increase pressure on decision-makers has been proven again and
again. Still, the question on how to ensure better coverage of
under-reported crises remains largely unaddressed. So what is needed?
Seven equally important steps are crucial now: Media access; Reporting
outside the box; Funding foreign reporting; Think local; Raise the
voices of women and children; Invest in communications as a core
function of humanitarian work; Look at the bigger picture." (p.16-17).
 
Methodology, p.5:
"Using the media monitoring services of Meltwater Group, CARE
International analysed those humanitarian crises that received the least
amount of media attention in 2017. More than 1.2 million online articles
were monitored from 1 January to 22 December 2017. To filter according
to scale, we chose those countries in which at least one million people
were affected by natural or man-made disasters. The result was a list of
almost 40 crises that were analysed and ranked by the number of articles
mentioning each. This report lists the 10 most underreported crises in
reverse order, number one being the most under-reported. The overall
number of people affected by each emergency derived from UN OCHA’s
Global Humanitarian Needs Overview, Reliefweb, ACAPS, and CARE."
