What happened recently has been extremly traumatic for the familys concerned and has made headline news worldwide, but its only done that because of the rarity of such crimes involving tourists in Thailand. Unfortunately you are more likely to see those headlines on the evening news tonight while watching your TV in your home town (where ever that might be).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
