What is your take on the front page picture on Newsday.tt on August 31st?
Sick.... My heart goes out to the Family ...Newsday had options of getting the same results .... But showing a dead baby as if its nothing shows a lack of respect...btw ...A dead person is usually covered up to out of respect for the dead person and to keep the curious public from Staring and having to view the image of seeing a dead body...So the newsday was disrepectful both to the family and the reading public. In journalism you hold an ethical obligation towards the family and the public. IF this was the Cheif Editors baby on the highway ... More than likely that would not have been the headlines ... it would of read more like condolences to Mr. Cheif Editors family... vs a dead baby making Headlines. U shocked us Newsday ... U shocked us to know how insenstive u can be to a father who has lost his wife and little baby ... I dont have any kids but i can certainly feel the lose for this family... ITs tragic yes ... but come on newsday ... YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT... Be sympathetic... Show the DEAD MURDERERS ... SHOW THE CRIMINALS ... Scare the criminals into behaving ... The father of this baby didnt need to see that head lines ...
