The Air India crash has at one survivor (so far). Heard that the media are bombarding the relatives of this survivor. I find this unprofessional and harassing, especially when the survivor’s brother was on the same flight.

I wish the media will stop trying to get stories from anybody as sensational. It’s not.

Also no need for news specials with presenters asking questions to correspondents and experts who don’t know the answer as the info hasn’t been available etc. Then rephrase it. Again so unprofessional.

I've also seen some media outlets posting videos from 2 men who were posting from the airport before they got on the plane. Absolutely horrendous behaviour

I agree. He will be in shock. It's horrible to take advantage of him when he's so vulnerable

Just watching bbc and screaming at the reporter to stop harassing the relatives of the man who has survived. The reporting seems so voyeuristic
