High profile deaths
Hi
What'd happen if I replace high profile with important in:
...by the late twentieth century a combination of celebrity culture, mass media and the internet has afforded new possibilities for public mourning of high profile deaths.
Thanks in advance

Hi If we talk about celebrity, high profile deaths, we are maybe talking about David Bowie or Prince or Margaret Thatcher. It is interesting to mention those people because others will know them. I suppose, really, that is casual talk If someone tells me, over the internet, about the death of a young paediatrician in Syria, possibly by Russian airstrike, that is important.
