I just finished reading the section in Thursday’s paper entitled “Big Stories Mean Long Nights, Special Editions” and wanted you all to know that I think it’s completely consistant that Herald did only do an online special edition when Katie died. I mean, she was only a person, she was only murdered, why waste the ink to tell everybody that her body finally just gave out and now the world has just lost a beautiful person. Also that the case was only breifly mentioned as one of the important stories that the Herald has covered. It makes me wonder: are you also attempting to downplay the fact that it happened along with the rest of the administration. I wrote a letter last year to note the lack of any sort of memorial to Katie on the anniversary of her death last year. It seems that you only print anything pertaining to the case when it is “newsworthy.” I guess to you her life was not nearly as “newsworthy” as her death. Way to get up circulation.
