NBC's coverage on the two skydiving planes head on collision was excellent. But it was extremely lucky that no one was injured, and even luckier that they were wear go pros and we can see exactly how this happened. I believe this is wrong in many ways and can ruin the news. This can, in many ways make the news bias, because after the people who have the news sell the information they cannot go to any other broadcasting station. I also think that NBC might get a lot of negative vibes from this plane crash, especially because they used checkbook journalism.
NBC has bought 2 stories in 4 days. They paid $100,000 for their interviews and information. The second thing they bought was a story about Hannah Anderson because it's an ongoing investigation about a kidnapping and murders. Also, it prohibits other news casters' freedoms by not allowing the information, either about the skydiver incident or the Hannah Anderson case, to be released to their competition. It seems to me that they are trying to create the great war between news mediums all over again. First it was newspapers, now it looks like digital media.
