We make difficult decisions in the newsroom everyday. Yesterday was especially difficult. We had the story of the female jogger found murdered near an Orange County park Wednesday afternoon... and the five people killed in Sanford as their SUV slammed into a stopped train at a crossing.
We had video of that SUV hitting the train from a helicopter, but chose not to show it on TV. We didn't think people needed to see these people driving to their deaths.
We also had video of Nicole Ganguzza's family hearing the news that she had been found murdered. We chose not to show that, too.. out of respect for the family.
These days, it seems a lot of news outlets show you EVERYTHING. What are your thoughts? Do you agree with our decision NOT to show these two events?
