Sound recordings / videos of traumatic events

I agree that the coverage is way, way over the top. The deaths and injuries are tragic and needless, but no amount of news repetition will change anything. When these 'newsworthy' deaths are treated in the way they are in the media, I always feel that it almost belittles other deaths that might have occurred at the same time.

This is the thing... If you have been involved in real tragedy you know how it can be and is exploited by the media. This only adds to the trauma.

No, not useful coverage. It's sensationalism.

The BBC has become very little more than tabloid reporting. It has totally forgotten its original remit, which stood it in good stead and high esteem for so many years.
The shame is that if it continues in this form there is very little argument to keep paying the licence fee as it becomes indistinguishable from commercial stations.
