Every stabbing makes the news.

If it happens outside of central London it’ll send shockwaves through the community.

Thankfully it’s a rare occurrence.
Seriously, you haven't got a clue. Not every stabbing makes the news, far from it. There are plenty of things going on that don't even get flagged up to the media.

Stabbings are frequent, and always have been. There are several a month in London, and always has been, and plenty of others in the counties behind closed doors and in public areas. Many don't result in fatal injuries, some result in minor injuries, but they happen.
3 stabbings yesterday in London made the London news this morning. Go figure!!

There were actually 9 stabbings yesterday in London.

The 3 that made the news did so because they are linked in with the wider news story over the past few months of the fact there have been more than usual gang related stabbings so far this year.

If someone is stabbed it makes the news. Fact!

How do you know about people who are stabbed that don’t make the news?

There was another one a week or so ago in Bracknell - but with no impending "Royal" event it almost misses the local news!
Isolated incident though, rarely anyone stabbed in Bracknell. It was in the local papers etc.

He's a copper, there's a few of us on here and yes, not all stabbings make the news.
We've had a few in Surrey recently, don't know if they've all been reported on.
I tackled a guy who'd stabbed someone a few years ago, that definitely didn't make the news

So you are saying in the day and age when a poor restaurant review or a pensioner getting a parking ticket for overstaying in the local car park makes the news.

Someone being stabbed doesn’t!

That really does sound unlikely.

Accept it as it seems to be the case.

Unfortunately if every stabbing in London was reported in the news there wouldn't be space for anything else, if you are on twitter search #cutshaveconsequences or #stopandsearch

The news unfortunately isn't there to inform us, its there to driver readership/viewers/click through's. The report whatever they feel will achieve the most of the aforementioned. Thats the modern media for you, they don't care two jots what they say.
