I understand you feel that way about journalism. I used to feel that way too and sometimes I still do... BUT, sometimes it is helpful for people to talk about their grief. I actually work for a small television station, and it is the hardest thing to make that phone call to ask people if they want to do do interview in their hard times. We never push people to do interviews. But so many times I get a letter or phone call afterwards that it was helpful for them to talk about it and keep the spirit of the one they lost alive... Now, I have to admit, I work for a very small television station and we are way less agressive than the national media. Anyway, just my personal experience...
The story sounds heartbreaking... I am so sad people have to go through this... Keeping all those in that area and those affected by it in my thoughts... |
