TMZ's Georgia child-death report gathers pace on day three
Far from the celebrity beat the channel is known for, the report drew most of its views after two quiet days.
Why this story? The video is running at 36,406 views a day, 12 times its usual pace (3,051).
A 4 year old Georgia girl has died after her parents found her in a trash can filled with water
TMZ posted the report on September 25 under a plain, somber title: "A 4 year old Georgia girl has died after her parents found her in a trash can filled with water." For its first two days it drew little attention.
Then it moved. In the latest day it gained views at roughly twelve times its earlier pace, and that single stretch accounts for most of the audience it has now.
This is not the kind of story the channel's name usually brings to mind. TMZ built its reputation on celebrity news, the Hollywood scoops and street-level star sightings that grew out of the website Harvey Levin launched in 2005. A local tragedy involving a small child sits a long way from that beat, and here it is the upload people are watching.
