Excerpt:

The coverage of these two tragedies has been less than solemn. Norton, some early news reports said, died taking a selfie (it actually seems she fell after doing what millions of Americans do every day: positioning herself for a photo in a beautiful place).

Meanwhile, Monfries died, according to one lurid headline, "while trying to get Instagram photos" (authorities have offered no indication that taking pictures led her to fall). Meanwhile, a major US network headlined a piece "Selfie leads to two women's deaths;" elsewhere on the internet, commenters on the many news stories about these women's deaths were remarkably callous.
