It’s still perceived as improper—a drama about an event like that is seen as sensationalistic or making money off a tragedy, but Time magazine writing about it is not perceived that way. I find it interesting, the different rules that apply to journalism and drama, even though journalism has become more and more about entertainment, and entertainment has become more and more about journalism.”
