Mourning or exploiting?

IN Media Watch Briefs | 01/10/2008

The suspected murder of a Headlines Today producer (September 30) led the channel to mourn her the first day, on both Aaj Tak and HT, in a repetitive way, and really live off the story the second day. Sensitivity did not come in the way of repeatedly revisiting the evidence, including a piece of her scalp, and endlessly interviewing people about the possibilities of solving this murder.  Seems like exploitation does not stop, even when the victim is one of their own.
