The story of the three teen age suicides was very surprising and definitely a huge story to tell to the public. The Arkansas Gazette did a great job in presenting the story professionally to the public. They had many rules and regulations regarding how to tell the public and I believe that they did a good job. They promised to hep keep everything in an idealized manner and just present things straight to the point.
Its awful to see things like this come up in the news but journalist have to get these informations out without being disrespectful to the families of the victim. I can definitely relate to the friends of the first victim because its hard to lose a friend, and even worst to see a friend die in that way. There must be something deep going with the teenagers, sometimes speaking out is the bets thing to do.
If I was the journalist to report this story i wouldnt just make it a short story. Though it was a tragedy for this to happen I would defenitely try to give more details on what occured so people can get a better understand of the situation. The public needs to defnitely know what happened but to an extent that does not disrespect or make the dead look bad because they should jsut rest in peace.
Teens are very influenced by a lot of things such as the media and all their surroundings. I would definitely add links to help teens with all their problems because they are dealing with a lot of things. The best thing for these teens to do is to just ocme out and speak their mind because who would knows what would happen if you just keep it to yourself.
