What are your feelings about the MEDIAS coverage or over coverage of event and tragedies??

I was watching a news channel the other day and and i was shocked to hear the reporter complaining about the the people ho were trying to rescue the miners who were trapped.

She said that the people trying to dig these people out were not giving her and the other MEDIA enough information and that they when they did give deadlines (because they were pressured by the MEDIA to give a certain deadline that they never met their deadlines in rescuing these miners .

And to topit all off she pushed the issue that the families were upset with these people trying to do their job and save these lives of their friends , family and co-workers.

Why can't these reprters have a little compassion and stay in the background and don't push the families for information that they don't know and make them feel more like crap and have to feel more pain and anger for what has happened?

The MEDIA has gone too far in the past in order to be the first to get a little bit of info and just so they can say "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST"

I respect them for their job but they are moving into the direction of the "PAPARAZZI " and that is not a good thing.

Car chases , robberies , hostage situations , tragedies and many more horrible events should be documented but not at the expense of peoples lives and feelings !!!!

There should be a law that prevents them from going too far. I do not care if you have chosen to be a movie star , a politician or just someone who as PARIS and many others have done partied your way into the limelight there should be some law to stop all PAPARAZZI and REPORTERS from making critical mistakes in reporting or getting pictures that have and will hurt others.

i feel for those thrust into the spotlight out of tragedy and for those who enjoy the job of acting and would love to live their lives as normal as possible doing the jos they love.

YOU KNOW ACTING , SINGING AND ANT OTHER TYPE OF PERFORMING IS A PROFESSION AND JUST LIKE ANY OTHER OCCUPATION THESE PEOLE WOULD LOVE TO JUST GO OUT AND DO FAMILY THINGS AND ENJOY LIFE WITHOUT PEOPLE MAKING THINGS UNCOMFORTABLE!!

Sure they do enjoy some attention while out but not when danger is being pushed at them!!!

As much as I despise the over-exposure of celebrities who fall on the face in the trappings of their own creation, most people love hearing about it and therefore, the media serves the need when it comes to reporting about them.

When reporting tragedies I think the media does a good job of covering all angles of most stories, sometimes too many angles, but they seem to be respectful of those who suffer the most in the wake of tragedy.

What bothers me the most about the media in general is their bias. They seem to take political sides which is not their objective.

Hello ,luckily I haven't experienced any harassement by the media .I will say though , the only t.v. I watch is the news , I like to know what is going on in my city and around the world .Ofcourse the more gruesome the story the more I'm glued to the t.v. set . I am sorry but I am only being honest .I do however always feel bad for the families involved and will pray for them .

My biggest problem with all this is that the reporters expects for these men and women who are risking their lives in the procees of trying to rescue these miners to give and exact timeline on how and when they would be rescuing the miners and the reporter was actually upset that she was not updated on the info when she wanted and that the deadlines were not met.
HOW CAN ANYONE GIVE AN EXACT TME AND DATE WITHOUT ENDANGERING MORE LIVES?
The families are having a hard enough time with this and the reporters need to step back and lert them and the people working their behinds of to save them and give them time to think and grieve.
There is enough pressure for these people to deal with and families they need to console. It's not like they wanted this to happen!
As for other news stories I just wish that the owners and CEO'S would give the MEDIA classes on when and where to draw the line on their rights as reporters. Because when the" MAYDAY MELEE RIOT " happened yes i saw people being pushed around but if you see a line of police coming your way DUH USE COMMON SENSE AND GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!
And when CHRISTINA GONZALEZ go t in the face of the police i was shocked. She is no better or worse than the rest of us and to clear the streets was the right thing for the police to do , but the "REPORTERS" took their time in moving trying to get the best shot of the situation.To me this was a case of misuse of the MEDIAS LEVERAGE to be in the middle and endanger others.

Agreed with what you said, the media should only report on the story, and not be a part of it. There's a little arrogance on the part of the media in those examples you cited, and it contributes to the negative image people have of the media.

I've been accused of being a domestic terrorist by the media and it made me feel butthurt. I'm going to go cry a single emo tear now.
