put restrictions to prevent "news outlets" from bothering families involved in crisis.

Created by C.H. on April 17, 2013

Accessibility of information in our era is strong and we are able to access it almost anywhere anytime. News stations do have a job to inform us of situations that are on-going, however there has to be a limit. I want to see regulations put in place that prevent news outlets from putting cameras and reporters in front of houses or harassing families that are going through difficult times in their lives. For example with the Boston marathon explosion, the Richard family has gone through enough heartbreak and loss and should not have to deal with a slew of cameras and reporters at their home 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Being that these outlets do not know what common decency is, I feel it is important to address this.
