Brian Cunningham in the Columbia Journalism Review writes about the New York bias in news reporting. In short, what is important for all of us.
Life here is different.
We ride trains rather than drive cars. We pay ridiculous amounts of money to live in rented apartments with notoriously tiny kitchens. We cook less, opting instead to order in or dine out on everything from Afghan to Ukrainian food, not exactly staples at the local mall. New York journalists are different. There are probabaly hidden stories in the British regional press about media bias towards London, as if the perspectives of people in Manchester, Edinburgh, or Glasgow were almost the same.
