Los Angeles has been a city viewed from above by news helicopters for nearly seven decades. When there was a wildfire, a mudslide or O.J. Simpson fleeing the police across its ribbons of highway, an “eye in the sky” tracked it and advised millions how to keep out of harm’s way. On Tuesday, one of those flying newsrooms crashed live on-air and burst into flames, killing three people while reporters were covering the collision of an SUV and a city bus. NBC4 Los Angeles reported that two people aboard the helicopter — Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw — were killed, and fire officials said another person, Edy Gutierrez Mejia, died on the ground.

Jason Arday, who was once celebrated as Cambridge University’s youngest Black professor, was found dead last week after weeks of news stories presenting evidence that he was a plagiarist and fabulist. His death quickly led to criticism of Cambridge for elevating Arday in a rush to promote diversity, despite red flags about his qualifications, and of the news media for driving him to despair when his credentials and life story began to unravel under intense scrutiny. The public attention was partly fueled by the impending publication of Arday’s memoir, “Great and Unfortunate Things.”
