Showing pictures of the rescue scene in Paris where Princess Diana died almost ten years ago has until now been taboo in the British news media. That self-denial is about to be broken by The Witnesses in the Tunnel a documentary on Channel 4 TV about the role of the paparazzi in her death. Her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry "are furious," as NBC's Keith Miller put it. Since her death "they have battled to keep Diana's dignity intact." Channel 4 denied that its documentary is "disrespectful." Miller observed that royal disapproval has led to "publicity not punishment."
Publicity, too, goes to Starbucks for its brand extension from selling coffee to selling music CDs. By edict from head office in all 13,728 coffee houses all over the globe Paul McCartney's new album Memory Almost Full is being piped into each sound system non-stop for 24 hours. ABC's David Muir (subscription required) did the math and came up with 19 million worldwide minutes of Sir Paul.
