"There is just no easy way to cover the story about the dirt track racing death of Kevin Ward Jr. over the weekend," writes Jeff McCall, professor of communication at DePauw University, in a newspaper column. "Notice that the lead sentence of this column included the name of the deceased and not the name of the famous race car champion, Tony Stewart. The media want to make Stewart the focus of the story, but the story needs to be about more than a high-profile NASCAR driver."
