The contrasting coverage is IMHO largely due to the novelty of the situation, and nothing to do with any moral judgement on the victims. Tragically, migrant boat disasters are common.

It was also the 'ticking clock' factor of the limited oxygen, a countdown of a few days, giving hope for a heroic rescue.

People can't survive for long in cold seas. By the time a migrant boat disaster makes the news, hopes of finding survivors may already have faded.

The Mediterranean Sea isn't particularly cold this time of year, are you confusing the locations of the two incidents?
