Why Discuss Tragedy on TV now?

Good reason for it being on TV now - just after it's happened.

1 The survivor is upset and feels the need to talk and take action. She feels compelled to do something.

2 People are more likely to listen while it's recent. In a year's time more recent stories might capture attention.

3 She wants action taken now, not delayed until after another tragedy hits another family.

4 If she waits people will say, 'Time she moved on.'
