What a shockingly common sense request. What's even more shocking is that it appears the media is actually listening:
I'm kinda hoping that this was either mis-quoted or there's a typo in this quote from the student government member Emily Webb:
I've got to say I'm awfully impressed somebody had the balls to push the media out of their tragedy. I can only hope that people see this and recognize that the news machine consumes whole cities to feed the curiosity of the masses.

I watched Oprah yesterday, and she did an amazing show, and quite honestly has been amazing through this whole tragedy.
From the beginning she has shunned the media for their coverage of this event. She has refused to mention the killer's name or show the photos/videos, nor has she done any sort of profile on the killer.
Yesterday she honored each of the victims and praised their lives.
The media giants should take a lesson from her.
