There was a tragic death at Queen's yesterday morning. A first year student apperently jumped to his death from the 6th floor at Victoria Hall. There are no details yet.
The Whig publishes a story on line, and this morning, has big headlines of this death in the print edition, and a photo above the fold.
In contrast, CKWS TV said little about it on the 6pm news last night.
The newspaper should be roundly condemmed for this insensitive headline and article. The article is almost exactly what they put online.
Many locals criticize The Whig for its frequent outrageous stances and reporting, in tabloid fashion.
This is another example of that.
Not surprisingly, subscriptions to The Whig are down from previous years. One can see why.
