I don't think nobody cares. The attacks in Turkey this week were the top headline in UK news sites. I think the reason the coverage doesn't last as long as something like Paris is that Turkey is in a much closer proximity to ISIS and attacks like these are much more common there. If anything happens often it loses it's ability to shock you even if you are saddened and disgusted by it. Take Syria for example. For the first few months of the war there was daily news coverage. Now? Nothing. It's not that people don't care, it's just that it's no longer shocking enough to get people to buy newspapers.
