There has been a lot of talk recently about how media is covering the recent auto and bicycle collisions.
Tuscon Bike Lawyer talks about it on their blog often. A few other blogs talked about it recently.
To prove their point, I found the following two articles on the same tragic accident in Concord, NH:
WMUR leads their story with:
CONCORD, N.H. -- Concord police said a 6-year-old boy died after being struck by
a pickup truck at Meadow Brook Apartments on Sunday.
While the Union Leader leads with:
CONCORD – A 6-year-old died yesterday after the bicycle he was riding collided
with a pickup truck.
Do you see the difference? Here I'll show you:
CONCORD, N.H. -- Concord police said a 6-year-old boy died after being
struck by a pickup truck at Meadow Brook Apartments on Sunday.
CONCORD – A 6-year-old died yesterday after the bicycle he was riding
collided with a pickup truck.
I'm sure the bicycle really was just tired of being ridden around by a little boy, its lifelong dreams of racing the Tour de France slowly fading away and decided to end it all.
