The A330 crash has been more covered as it's been between 2 big countries (France and Brazil) and it had a lot of foreigners in that plane. Also, the circumstances around the crash were very special and still are very complicated to understand. The whole 'lost plane in the ocean' line was loved by the medias.

The Iranian crash is sad thing too because it's never funny to loose people in such conditions but it got less coverage for 3 reasons:
1. Iran is probably the most hated country at the moment with North Korea.
2. There isn't the 'special' factor about it that the Air France crash had.
3. There haven't been much foreigners in the plane.
