"The public's news interests this week are far out of sync with the news media's coverage," reports the Pew Research Center. Take a look:

Percentage of people who are following the news about Japan very closely: 57%
Percentage of news coverage devoted to Japan: 15%

Percentage of people who are following the news about Libya very closely: 15%
Percentage of news coverage devoted to Libya: 41%
