Media watch: Cheers for the editorial board of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Thanks to the editors of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, who have been brave enough to publish an educated, insightful response to the verdict in the Andrea Yates case.
In doing so, this (relatively) small news organization has taken a stand in a bloodthirsty public debate - which, sadly, the editorial boards of some of the nation's larger and more influential media outlets have declined to do. The Sun-Sentinel's op-ed will help to educate its readers about mental health in a way that defies stigma and sensationalism.
