That's just not responsible journalism. The sad part is that the account only has 19 followers that would've received these tweets. Is it really worth your time to provide this "service"? I think not.
There's proper etiquette for funeral, even if you're a member of the media. I think sending text message updates falls under the "disrespectful" category. You wouldn't make a phone call in the middle of a service. Why would you tweet?
