As a journalist there are plenty of things that we do in order to tell the story in a compelling manner. We are often put in situations that a lot of the times many of us just fell horrible about. Take this for instance, someone dies and we cover it. I want to be the first journalist to tell you just case someone else hasn't, we are human too, and trust me we are doing simply what we have to do and nine times out of ten we don't want to knock on your door after a family member or loved one has been hurt. I for one after 7 years of doing this still find it hard to talk and ask questions of someone who just lost a loved one. I know it hard to say goodbye. I have had death in my own family and I wouldn't want some reporter knocking down my door looking for a story either, but I also understand it has to be done. It is terribly hard to say goodbye this I know for sure.

I feel that sometimes its good to talk about it. Unless it was a severe death, like a murder for example. You get to elaborate on the good and bring a smile out of the situation. My call... as a reporter, just stay on the positive side, and the response from the family won't be so bad.

I totally get where you are coming, but not everything in the news is positive. I wish I could just give half of a horrible story but then I wouldn't be doing my job.
