Levy media pack reassembles

By Mark Obbie

McClatchy's Michael Doyle has documented media coverage of this latest phase of the Chandra Levy murder case, adding to what he's already done on his blog in multiple posts about the Levy investigation. As usual, I'm left dumfounded over what might spark a particular news frenzy. This one, like many others, seems to take on a life of its own and serve some need that many have. I thought that the subtraction of the congressman angle would dampen enthusiasm. Wrong. Is it just because the story occurs in a media center, D.C.? I doubt it, as some equally frenzied stories have sprung from small cities or rural areas. Nostalgia for the frenzy that gripped us years ago? Maybe. All I'm sure of is that I'll never be good at predicting what sets off these wildfires.
