Masala murder coverage

IN Media Watch Briefs | 31/08/2015

The ToI is hooked on the Sheena Bora murder case. Its ‘Murder in the Family’ series has been running non stop  from August 27, on one full inside page every day. Last  Saturday it went up to 1.5 pages. HT has been close behind, with ‘Sheena Murder’ not going off page one, coverage ranging from half a page to 1.5 pages. The Express grew  restrained as the story wore on, though none of these three have let it go off page 1. The Hindu chose to be virtuous. The least coverage, and now no longer on page 1.
