Boston Marathon Bombing

These couple of weeks the news channels has been filled with reports on the tragic event that happen, the Boston Marathon bombing. There has been so many news reports on it. Some talk about the victims who died, others talk about the bombers, and others talk about what are they going to do next. This is a series topic that no one should joke around with, but others treat it like if it was a movie, making a movie trailer of it. Well that is what it seems to me in this video clip.

The beginning of the clip starts off with the bomb. Which makes the viewer want to watch the news report more especially after it says a “saying its absolutely chaotic.” Also they show the runners running around for protection, the firefighters helping the people, people screaming. All of these images are overwhelming. Other news media are showing the injured people missing body parts. What! Oh, its ok to show to millions of people that but not the war. In my opinion its ok to show a couple to let the public know what’s happening. Although I think that it shouldn't be over use like replaying it every time like this one

Back to the video clip above. The video makes it seem like this event was part of a movie by saying this, “Seven will break into programs to bring you the latest pictures. See it first on an extended seven news.” The “latest picture” this what all news report are trying to do, to get all the pictures they could. Is this a competition between news channels, who gets the most recent coverage on it?

The Boston Marathon Bombing has impacted a lot of people, and apparently the new media too. Trying to see who could get the latest news. The media are trying if they could get videos on the bombing. To have pictures on who were responsible. Its ok to have all of these, but not to over use them. In my opinion it seems that they are just replaying it over and over just get more viewers, but is this helping? I know that this is a tragic event that people should be alert of but I hope the media does it better job on showing their reports on it.
