JoyfulC 132299 Report post Posted January 12, 2014 When I was out west in 2002, I saw a fascinating documentary on some satellite channel about the news coverage of the Paul Bernardo trial. This wasn't about the murders, but about the media coverage of it. It was really fantastic, and I'd really like to see it again. But I'm not able to find it. Anyone have an idea?

Does this ring a bell: The Need to Know Through the Paul Bernardo murder case, this video explores the role of the media in creating, directing, editing and also ultimately limiting the details delivered to the public about horrendous acts of violence. Under pressure to perform and create the top selling story of the day, journalists wrestle with the morality and their own personal revulsion of human behavior. Interviews with top journalists and TV anchor people from both Canada and the United States reveal some of the deeper issues of giving the 'news' to the public.
