Today the parents of Rhys Jones, the young boy who was shot in Liverpool, were in court facing the teenager accused of his murder. On August 22nd last year, 11 year old Rhys was shot in the neck as he was walking home from football training. Rhys Mother broke down in tears in court, as the teenager was remained in custody.
The murder of Rhys Jones last summer had loads of media coverage, but now the case has gone to court it has been getting loads of coverage again. Using a Google search, Rhys Jones parents in court, there are hundreds and hundreds of results. The majority of stories were from English sites such as BBC and Sky News, and lots were from English newspaper websites. But after a few pages of searching there were another international news sites covering the story such as The New York Post, Trend News and Euronews24. Yet these news sites were not up to date. They mainly were from when the murder first took place. As it is such a UK based story, it has not been followed as much as in the UK. Here its front page news that Rhys parents face the boy accused of his murder but its not as interesting outside of the UK, until the verdicts, when international news will again report on the story.
When using Google News with the same search, the results weren't as good as a standard search. I think using the standard search and skimming through all the results worked better than using Google news.
