Soham Murder Trial

Remember that this is an ongoing court case and be careful with any comments.

My point here is that - can the media not reach a general agreement between themselves, that mean that they do not video/picture the parents on their journey to court. This must be a particularly harrowing time for them and to face a posse of press each day must be awful.

It sells papers.

If there wasn`t a demand for this, then they wouldn`t do it.

A lot of the time, those irritating morons haranguing the mourning relatives are freelance photographers, and as such gain their wages through taking the best pics, and aren`t governed by a `Boss` or `company ethics`.

Of course, the `Boss` who authorises the purchase of these intrusive, voyeuristic, squalid pics isn`t in any way accountable for his/her own lack of `ethics`, is s/he?

well, they didn`t authorise the pictues being taken, but as they`re there, they don`t think they`ve intruded in the privay and personal grief of these people.

Course, if they didn`t buy the pics, there`s no telling what the paps would do to get their wages. Want to see the pics of Diana crawling out of the car wreck? They`re out there somewhere

So, we have to tolerate/reward the appalling behaviour of people who have the potential to behave even more appallingly?

Hello,

Why is it just the papers that we blame for the intrusion. Every TV News Station (Including the Beeb and ITN) is filming the parents going to court; Why is that different to salaried or freeance Photographers doing their stuff?
TV News seem to think it adds credibility just `cos it`s on TV, but I think it`s just as bad personally.

It really annoys me when TV News cover a `Celeb Scandal` Story`, then in the next story, take a swipe at the paparazzi for their insensitive tactics...hypocrisy !

Just my view,

Neil

I think the parents would sooner have the media there then not.

what? for company? Their children had been needlessly killed.

I`m sure cameras poking through their windows daily is welcome comfort on the lonely nights..

We are talking outside the court not their house,also I doubt very much if the above as ever took place,they even thanked the press for their help and understanding.
