The crisis in Syria and the global refugee crisis has been rumbling along for years, a frequent yet somehow distant global event - but in the space of 36 hours there looks to have been a seismic shift.
Yesterday appeared to be a tipping point, as the heartbreaking image of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi, lying dead, face down on a Turkish beach, gave a focal point to a diffuse, complex problem, and appears, from this early point, to have sparked public and political action.
The coverage of the crisis has now become close to globally omnipresent, with the refugees' story taking precedence in newspapers across the globe.
Here's how some of the world's media have been reporting the story since the pictures of Aylan Kurdi surfaced.
