Another Shooting and Another Field Day for the Media

Looking through news clips from Fox News, ABC News, and my favorite....Nancy Grace, horror continues to sweep the world. I was reading an update from recent article on Fox News entitled "Home of a Killer." I am sickened by this incident but it seems as though there is one every year that people are talking about. Gun violence and innocent people. In this article, a young man walks into a church, shoots the pastor and wounds many others. After this, his fame is accomplished by exposing the incident all over the news. This is another one of the infamous questions of reporters to either report the truth or protect citizens. I understand this incident is newsworthy, but then as I ask myself again I wonder why? Why do we like to hear about it? Not only this but what is the point in basically advertising the gruesome crimes of these screwed up individuals only to have some other kid commit the same crime next year? My only concern with in incidents such as these, school, mall, and now church shootings is that the individuals want the fame simply because they have never had it. They have nothing to live for so they take incident lives in order to be remembered. So why should we remember them? For example I still remember the shooters of Columbine and Omaha West Road's Mall. Matter of fact, I can remember exactly when the events happened, what I was doing, and how I felt. These individuals do not deserve to make people feel the way they do when they watch these programs.
No, I do not think media should NOT cover these incidents and there is no way that they wouldn't. As Dr. Hanson writes in his blog post, the media is like a pack of hungry wolves. They are sensationalist and only look for stories. But, there is no need to advertise these stories because I guarantee there is some psychotic person out there watching what this German teen did last week and wondering if this is how he can catch his fame too.
It's annoying to me that the media cannot find anything else to cover than the horror of someone else's lives. I understand the immediate coverage, but this will go on for weeks after, replaying what happened, reminding families of what they lost, and reminding viewers of how messed up the world actually is. We do not want to continue to watch this. The media must inform us and then move on.
There are many other problems in the world and bigger problems than this teen shooting everyone. Yes, I am sympathetic to the families of the deceased and wounded, and this is why I write this. I can't imagine being in the shoes of these families and watching the incident over and over because the media has to have a field day with this.
In conclusion, gives us the immediate coverage, then move on. Protect the emotions of the families and future incidents like this from happening.
