In Order Of Appearance..

Digging deeper than 6 feet with Michael Jackson and Ted Kennedy...
The news media has been peppered with celebrity deaths over the last few months yet I feel the focus of the media has become impaired. I realise that the death of Michael Jackson is a major affair in the entertainment world yet I feel that there was too much focus on this so called ‘iconic’ figure. I became tired and frustrated with the constant coverage of Michael Jackson. The death of the US senator Ted Kennedy went nearly unnoticed after officially being declared deceased a mere few days after Jacksons. Kennedy the brother of the former U.S. president was a well respected man in his public circles, local and international. Granted he had some major accomplishments, I feel it perverse that all the focus went to Jackson whose last mention in the media was being innocent of molestation. Are we as young journalism student forgetting the basic moral attributes of idolism? Are we forgetting who the authentic role models are? It is time for the new generation of journalism students to impose honourable justification.
