The death of Kobe Bryant was tragic and felt around the country. There was a dark side to it though. His death showcased TV media, social media and websites obsession with death porn.
What do we mean by death porn?
Racing to release the story before his family knows, showing the burning wreckage of the helicopter crash knowing all 9 victims’ bodies were still there, TV stations in LA showing a truck carrying the wreckage of the helicopter down the freeway.
It’s classless and unnecessary.
Why is it news media coverage appeals to the lowest common denominator?
