In the race to be the first to report on something is the
media airing info that shouldn’t be aired?
Yesterday there was a horrific accident on I-90 where there was a
fatality it was all over the media, including this radio station. We reported what had happened and painted the
picture as radio can. On facebook there
were photos of the crash site, and the smoke and fire the engulfed the
area. Our local tv stations had crews on
the scene shortly after it happened reporting what had happened and today the
newspaper has the pictures on the front page of the paper, are we thinking of
the families when something like this happens?
Or in our rush to get the news or big story out first we overlook the
people involved? As I look at those
pictures as a father and can’t help but to wonder what if that was my child, or
a loved one, or someone that was my best friend and I saw it somewhere in the
media or heard about it from an acquaintance that happened. It makes me wonder if in our race to the top
if we are on a race to the bottom?
