Michael Jackson’s untimely death is a tragedy for his family and for his many fans. There is no doubt that he was the King of Pop and popular throughout the world as has been demonstrated by the outpouring of grief that has taken place.
I suppose that there was an inevitability, just days after his death, for the media to start speculating on the cause of his death, his financial troubles and who will now be after his assets and future royalties, the status of his family and what could generally be described as the various eccentricities in his private life. These and other matters will doubtless keep the media occupied for many weeks to come.
I do wonder, however, whether the media ought to concentrate more on the many tragedies taking place around the world on a daily basis; Darfur to quote just one example. Without demeaning the effect of the pop star’s sudden death on his family and fans, these would seem to me to be of far more importance.
