Zelda Krup:
I’m swerving off the road (figuratively speaking). KREM just aired a portion of the 911 call of the Mead, WA, woman’s call to 911 while being stabbed to death. The day this happened, I included a paragraph in my blog post on HBO about how I hope to never hear this audio, but then I deleted it before posting, thinking, surely, surely, no TV station would ever do this. But they did. Abbie Gibb was horrified and urged everyone to clear children from the room beforehand. Reality TV — who needs Bravo?
(KREM2 story and video/audio here)
Question: Should the media release audios like this 911 call — and let their readers/viewers decide whether or not to listen?
