This distinction applies, I think, to a controversy at my journalistic home, The Post. It began with the extremely newsworthy death of basketball legend Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash that also killed Bryant’s daughter, Gianna, and seven other people. And then the waves of grief that their deaths, their parents’ deaths, the pilot’s death, sent rolling over the suddenly sickened lives of their survivors. I’ve never met my Post colleague Felicia Sonmez, but I’ve read enough of her work to know that she’s crackerjack. (The Post later reinstated Sonmez on Tuesday.)
