	The Heath Ledger Story

Lacey Rose says:

An interesting piece on the minute by minute coverage of Heath Ledger's tragic death.

Rather than focus on the Fed rate cuts, the election or the day's Oscar noms, viewers tuned in to hear the up-to-minute details - accurate or not -- from outlets ranging in scope from the New York Times and the evening news to celebrity weekly websites and blogs like TMZ.
