I liked the old policy, but I like the new policy better. Personally, I wouldn't want the media at a family members funeral, but not everbody feels that way. If the next of kin want to make it public, then that is his/her choice. Personally, if I was watching the news and the media were covering a deceased servicemember then I would probably change the channel.
