Traditional media shouldn't follow new avatar

SOME PASSENGERS occupying other peoples' seats on trains simply refuse to budge even after train attendants and police officers intervene. Netizens have nicknamed such people "seat lords" on social media after videos of their obstinate behavior were uploaded online. The netizens have condemned them for their selfishness, impudence and lawlessness. Guangming Daily comments on Tuesday:

With at least five such "seat lords" drawing netizens' attention within one month, traditional and new media outlets have given the incidents wide coverage.

But the question is: Do these people deserve so much media attention and time?
