MIKE BARNICLE, MEDIA CRITIC.
In the New York Daily News, Barnicle weighs
in on the New York
Post front-page photo
of a young woman leaping to her death. (Via Romenesko.)
Here
is Post chief copy editor Barry Gross's defense. So help me, I
agree with Barnicle. This was a suicide, with no larger implications
that would warrant running the picture. But what's Barnicle going to
say the first time the Boston Herald runs a photo like
that?
