Journalists shot, killed in Virginia during live shot

Always? Like during a war should the media demand to know what the next course of action is?

 

Yes. Sorry. It's a late night.

 

No problem. I was sure it was a simple crossing of wires.

Dick, you've made several similar posts in this thread. Normally I don't agree with what you post or how you post it, but in this case, sadly, I think you're right on.
Somewhere early in this thread there was a mention of how the chamber lady in the story was promoting tourism when the shooting happened, and how that was terribly unfortunate timing. It is: come enjoy our area and try not to get blown away.
But the reality is this could have just as easily been the school superintendent talking about a new school program. It could have been the local bus or train system director talking about new routes being added. It could have been an interview with anyone, anywhere.

 

Long day.

Finally dialed down enough to go to sleep.

Thanks for being here today. It's weird in that PCLL and I are probably the only TV types here but chatting with a bunch of other journaliam types made it easier too.

 

I saw today there is a hash tag:

#WeStandWithWDBJ

Very moving.

 

Journalists rally around fallen broadcasters with #WeStandWithWDBJ | Poynter.

Getting a little dusty in here.

We need Jon Gold's rebuttal.

 

I'm sure all of these people expressed the same dismay at the airing of the Walter Scott and Samuel Dubose videos.
