Question

Why do the media make a big deal about prince Diana but not for mother Teresa of Calcutta?

Answer 1

Because one was rich and the other wasn't.

Answer 2

Youth and beauty is what the corporate media strives on

Answer 3

Diana,Princess of Wales was photogenic.People are interested in glamour and glitz. Mother Terese was a very committed woman;she was dedicated to her charities but her simple lifestyle wasn't as gossip-worthy.

Mother Terese came to my high school to recruit help;she was tiny,intense and very focused on getting the poor the help that they needed.She won accolades for her work,but not as much media interest.

Mother Terese died at an advanced age;her life was well-lived and fulfilled. Diana died tragically;her life was cut short leaving people to wonder what if?

Answer 4

First off, PRINCE Diana??? Anyway, I don't know where you are getting all of your information, but Mother Teresa received great attention from the media, such as Time Magazine...

Also, consider that Princess Diana was a Princess with a celebrity-like lifestyle, and Mother Teresa liked to live a quieter life. Did you also remember that Diana has family in the media, but Mother Teresa was a nun and therefore has no children in the media??? Mother Teresa was a great person, but their is simply no news currently about her. And there was just as much grief for Mother Teresa, don't get me wrong. After all, she was THE single most widely admired person in the US and the 20th century.

R.I.P. To both of the women...

Answer 5

There is demand and there is supply. They are both dead now, so say a prayer for them and leave them to rest in peace. That is what the world should do now.

Answer 6

Diana was a good looking, nice, White woman.  The media loves that.

Answer 7

First of all, it is not Prince Diana but Princess Diana. The media makes a big deal about her than Mother Teresa of Calcutta beacause she is royalty and many people have winessed her death. But i'm not saying that I make a big deal of her most because Mother Teresa also made a great history here in the world.

Answer 8

Because people could relate to Princess Diana.

Answer 9

The shows  - I -  watch make a bigger deal about Mother Teresa of Calcutta.  But then, I'm not big on watching Entertainment Tonight.  PBS, The History Channel and Biography are more my fare.

Answer 10

because of the way she was killed... i wouldn't say that i didn't know who was mother Teresa was... but i didn't hear about her stories until i was in a church gathering otherwise i wouldn't known anything about her...

you know who controls the media... so that might be a better answer why princess Diana was plastered all over the news...
