Just look at the situation in Yemen. Nobody cared enough to talk about even though what it looks like is one of the worst humanitarian crisis of the 21st century. 1 journalist was tortured and murdered, and suddenly everyone was up in arms about it.

It's partly because he was a journalist, but also because state-sponsored murder in that state's own consulate is rare. More typically, there's at least a thin veneer of plausible deniability.
Which was only in the news because he was a journalist. Journalists care when other journalists get wronged. If it was you or I that got sawed up it might have been a footnote on some columnist's hobby blog.
