Victims’ families deserve apology
The article on the recent train tragedy, published Sept. 1, went way beyond the bounds of responsible journalism. The fact that two bright young people lost their lives is a terrible tragedy. Both families will never be the same. What purpose was served by publishing graphic details of injuries sustained by the victims? You don’t publish those type of details for automobile accidents. The reporter, Kate Harrison, crossed the line, and both she and the Times Free Press should issue an apology to these grieving families.
It’s disappointing that our local newspaper is becoming nothing more than an “Enquirer” tabloid.
