As The Globe and Mail reported: "Col. Williams was formally convicted Tuesday of two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of sexual assault and forcible confinement and 82 fetish burglaries in which he stole women’s underwear and other intimate items."
I found The Globe's blogging, updated every two to five minutes, impossible to stay away from. On Monday my Journalism students and I spent several hours following it.
Several students commented, from strikingly different points of view, on their blogs.
Jessica Cable says some events shouldn't be tweeted about, and provides a couple of startling examples.
Tammy Karatchuk says that just because we can divulge horrifying details instantly, that doesn't mean we should.
Shelley Cook asks whether editors wondered if pictures of Williams wearing women's and girls' underwear would offend the legitimate cross-dressing community.
