The top three stories on Radio NZ are about her, do we really need this much coverage?

    High profile cases often get daily stories plus extras for background.

    Also, those stories underneath the main one are there specifically because they are related. It’s not like they ranked the top 3 stories and decided these were them.

        That’s what gets me. It’s a rare crime, a mother killing her children, but there’s no great mystery to it, no real doubt over what happened, and not much public interest, from what I’ve seen. Nobody I know is talking about this in person, unlike the Lundy and Bain trials for example.

        It’s just odd.

        It’s high profile because of what she did, not who she is. It happened a couple of years ago but the trial is happening now hence why it’s in the media all of a sudden.

        It’s not that unusual for a case with an alleged multi-murder to be in the media a lot during the trial as new information comes to light. Even so, it has dropped from the top spot now:
