Today marked the 10-year anniversary of the death of Princess Diana of Wales. I found what I thought to be pretty good coverage of the event and her life on CNN. The story,
'Loving sons' lead Diana , was the first I came across. What impressed me the most about this article was the fact that Prince Charles' new wife Camilla's absence from the memorial was not dwelled upon.
The article provides a link to further information on Camilla's absence but steers clear of going into much detail about it in this particular story about Diana.
The author seemed to take a cue from Camilla by focusing on the event at hand and that was a memorial to the lovely Princess Diana. Kudos for avoiding controversy on Diana's day.

I think that CNN's choice to focus completely on Diana was a wise choice. So much of the public sees the news media as gossip mongers - they believe that we are out there just for the dirt not for legitimate news. It is good to see that a network as big as CNN is promoting good journalism. If more news organizations did so, we would have an easier time changing the opinion of the public.
