I haven't read the paper or seen analysis of it's strengths/weaknesses but it's a good place to start.
BTW the idea this particular atrocity hasn't received press coverage doesn't chime with what I'm seeing. We're ~40 hours after the attack and as of ten minutes ago it's the lead story on the websites of CNN (International/US/Español), NYTimes (English/Español), Washington Post, BBC, Guardian, London Times and Independent. It's also the second lead story on Fox News. It's a huge story - the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting didn't get this much coverage and nor did a bunch of Jihadist attacks. Disproportionate media attention is very real but I'm not convinced it's a big factor in this case. There was a minute's silence before the Wales - Ireland rugby match. It is a huge story.
