Hitt III decided was so important and so respectful. I strongly agree with the decision that he made. He put others before himslef and sacrificed the news story to saved the reputation of the parents of the children who committed the crime much humiliation and judjment. There was no need to mention the parents names and their relationship to the criminals in the news story. They shouldnt have to suffer any of the consiquences that there kids will have to endure because of there actions. We need more Ediotors like this man in our broadcasting community to show all the others that its not all about getting the best story no matter who you hurt along the way. wow..i think that the decison that Managing Editor Robert M.
