Mario Pergolini expressed his outrage after TN's coverage of the death of Mila Yankelevich, the daughter of Tomás Yankelevich and Sofía Reca.
The host called for greater empathy and responsibility from the media when reporting tragedies involving minors.
"A little empathy": Pergolini's live demand
During his show on Vorterix, Dejá que entre el sol, Pergolini questioned Todo Noticias' approach to the tragedy.
"How much more can you say about what a little girl died from? That's enough, seriously, a little empathy," he said on air, visibly upset.
He criticized the extended coverage
The host pointed out that the channel kept the topic on screen for more than an hour. He criticized the insistence on asking for details about the case and the use of the "urgent" label.
Pergolini apuntó contra TN por cómo cubrió la muerte de Mila Yankelevich
"How many times can you keep calling to ask how they crashed and how it happened?" he added. He also mentioned that he found it unnecessary to highlight Cris Morena's reaction as the main content.
What happened to Mila Yankelevich?
Mila Yankelevich, 7 years old, died on Monday, July 28, after a boating accident in Biscayne Bay, Miami Beach.
A barge collided with a sailboat from the Miami Youth Sailing Foundation's youth camp, where several minors were participating.
Ongoing investigation
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the causes of the accident along with other local authorities.
The head of the Miami sector of the Coast Guard, Frank Florio, stated that a thorough investigation will be carried out to prevent future tragedies.
