[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't seem that any actual journalists have weighed in here, so I will. I've been a reporter for 15 years -- we never wait to get an ok from the police before calling a family for comment on a tragedy. It's sad, it sucks, but that isn't how it works. See above comments re ceding control of a free press, nanny state etc. Before working in journalism, I worked for a member of Congress who died in a tragic, unexpected way. Guess who told me and my coworkers, who were all in the office at the time? The media. We immediately sent a staffer to the home of the deceased to try to break news gently -- we didn't make it there before the media.it was likely different in the 1950s, but not in past 20 years.[/quote]
