Answer

The McCann case touches anyone with children who has had to make daily decisions about looking after them. I completely reject the idea that our coverage is only designed to satisfy morbid curiosity. But all news coverage depends on the consumers being interested, or indeed curious, in the subject. The implication of your question is that we should prescribe what people should be interested in, a philosophy more suited to a dictatorship than a democracy. MORE!
