Here's an article from time talking about the modern slave trade in Africa

This is a lazy, bullshit criticism because it starts with the assumption that they don't ever talking about something just because they aren't talking about it now.

Do people still not realize that there’s different things for different things? And that just because there’s a focus on one thing, that doesn’t mean there can’t be focus on other things?

Everyone today is so absorbed with living in the black or white where life exists within the grey.

They report on that because that's what their readers care about. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

just because a news source does make an article on it, it doesn't mean they promote it as much as they promote something else on their website, they make such articles to cover their backs if people make points regarding it
