End the sensationalization of tragic events such as that in Newtown Connecticut
- Target:
- CBC, CTV, and Global
- Region:
- Canada
Continued sensationalization of tragic events such as that in Newtown Connecticut is leading to copycat actions,a desensitization of our society towards these horrific acts, and needless additional heartache and hardship for those involved..... all for the sake of entertainment and profits
We call on Canada's major television news organizations - CBC, CTV, and Global - to take the lead in refusing to sensationalize tragic events such as that which occurred in Newtown Connecticut.
We ask that you have the courage to step away from the temptation to broadcast painful details, the perpetrator's story, and any information that is not considered to be "news" under the narrowest of definitions, such as news conferences held by the authorities involved in dealing with the situation.
Let's take back our humanity!
