I am very grateful for the words that were posted on the front of this newspaper. People need to mourn the loss of Trevor, yes, but we also need to see how he died. AL,

Every night on North By Northwestern we put one story in our biggest slot, and it becomes the "headline" story of the night. While we had several quality articles last night, the editors (including myself) felt putting anything in that headline slot other than Trevor would be disrespectful to his memory and irrelevant to our readers. Thanks again for your comment, and I hope that clears the decision up a bit. Lisa Gartner, NBN's Editor-in-chief Hi AL,

I really don't think that it is appropriate to plaster articles about Trevor's death all over your website. You should let his family and friends grieve in peace and privacy.
