Day 1 – Today’s Total: 6, Overall Total: 6

So this is it. I begin my study into Deaths in the media. (I should mention I shall capitalise all ‘Death’)

Today I was informed of six Deaths. Due to being ‘out and about’ most of the day I was only able to catch glimpses of the media, but this did not stop me immediately being introduced to a story after five minutes of awakening.

Having turned on my laptop I headed for yahoo.com, where I found the headline news bulletin of two people who were shot last night.

And so it began. The next story was told to me as the breaking bulletin on BBC 5-Live, with a man being killed by two youths. The final story was a report on a police inspection over the Deaths of the millionaire who killed him wife and child as well as suicide.

So, no disrespect to the horrible stories that occurred today, but a fairly low total. I must say I did feel aggrieved when I heard about the man and the youths. Maybe my reasoning over being desensitised by Death reports is already faultering?

Let’s see what this month has in store for us…
