Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in New York a few weeks ago. Ledger's death made the front page of some of the most important media, from newpapers to televisions. The Iraqi people died everyday in the war, the media sometimes even ignore it. Here's the death ratios chart I made to show how people's deaths worth in the news.
1 Celebrity = 20 White Americans = 40 Europeans = 60 Latin Americans = 100 Asians = 140 Minoroty Americans = 200 Africans = 500 Iraqis

I agree very much with your death ratio. I would actually make it higher for lower-class people, since THOUSANDS of Iraqis have died and all we're talking about is Heath Ledger.
