Are we learning about them? In this day and age, I could read local news from South Africa, Argentina or Iran, but I don't. "Most people read, listen and watch locally, nationally, more than globally.", as Ethan Zuckerman put it excellently in a talk Ars Electronica (I encourage you to read the entire transcript, you can read it here: http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2009/09/05/the-cloud-and-useful-illusions/).
