In the article “New Titanic Footage Heralds Next Stage in Deep-Sea Tourism” we see two different perspectives on tourism to the titanic.

Tourists paid 250,000 to view the Titanic. Although nothing was retrieved from the sight, there was several footage taken. OceanGate is the organization that put together this trip. OceanGate justify their tours as a way of allowing others an experience while collecting valuable data on the decay of the ship.

Paul F. Johnston was relieved that OceanGate did not retrieve any artifacts but was critical of the observed about of money charged to see this sight. The article mentioned how the sight is potentially a graveyard for all those who did not make it, and how that raises ethical questions.

This article is news because it raises a controversial conversation on whether tourists should be able to visit the Titanic. The article gives two different perspectives on the subject allowing the audience to choose which side they agree with. The author did a good job of remaining objective.
