Media’s replaying of gory Brussels terror attack footage is mercenary

While one can understand the legitimate, though grim, newsworthiness of the terrorist-bombing in Brussels, there is a ‘jackal’ approach to much of the media coverage (both broadcast and print).

Feasting off the carnage, with repeated replaying of gory footage, plus transmitting endless interviews and stories of people (mostly Irish) who might have witnessed or experienced something in the chaos, is weak and cheap.

The ‘mediarazzi’ are at it big time.
