Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world. Why is the media silent?

Stories of Christians being persecuted around the world rarely make the headlines in the mainstream media. Heather Tomlinson investigates why 

Did you hear about the atrocity in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) earlier this year, when 70 Christians, including women, children and the elderly, were slaughtered, many of them beheaded? If you support one of the many Christian anti-persecution charities or read Christian news (including this magazine), you may have. But if you rely solely on mainstream news sources, the chances are you may be unaware.
