Last but not least: Media event plane crash
Many people are bothered by the media's sensational coverage of plane crashes and other disasters. It's time for the media to at least take note of this. A ten-point list can help.
Lorenz Meyer has drawn up a list of ten points that far too many media outlets could take to heart when the next plane crashes. They probably won't, but it's worth a try. For example, it is incomprehensible why such a tragedy has to be further emotionalized with photos of the victims. Photos that were often shamelessly stolen from the internet. But as I said: the list actually sums it up quite well, you can just leave it at that. And most of the points seem so obvious that you wonder why they don't get any attention. (hae)
