      3. Briefly noting points of uncertainty without meaningfully engaging the scope of the reporting and research. (Too many examples to list.)

      4. Only responding to capacious, unrealistic minority views, like never using a shooter's name whatsoever — not responding, that is, to the many researchers like @zeynep who argue that mere differences of degree could matter a lot. 12/

      I could go on. The point is, the debate has been adversarial. Researchers are angry, saying the media is giving mass shooters what they want; many journalists have responded with dismissiveness and mockery. 13/

      When I talk to researchers, many think the media is driven by clicks and ratings, there's too much incentive for them to change their coverage of mass shootings. Maybe there's some truth in that, at least the executive level, but that's not what I mostly see. 14/

      I see journalists who value above all their role as seekers and tellers of truth, even and especially horrifying ones. 15/

      So the argument that journalists shouldn't help to dramatize the horror of mass shootings calls up the image of journalists bravely countering weak stomachs, puritanism, censorship. In short, it might actually be perfectly crafted to make journalists dig in their heels. 16/

      And, well, our default indeed ought to be that journalism's role is to deliver (true) information, however disturbing, and other institutions should deal with the fallout. 17/

      This indeed is the most common refrain. As @ErikWemple puts it, "deep investigation by news organizations....is critical to stopping future shootings." 18/https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2015/10/02/media-please-ignore-oregon-sheriffs-appeal-never-to-mention-shooters-name/?utm_term=.58147c07a549 …

      The perplexing, maddening problem is that what decades of media investigations keep showing is that media attention itself is a central component in why mass shootings keep happening. 19/

      So to maintain this line — we can't change how we cover mass shootings, or how will we know why they happen? — journalists are having to do this strange dance around the very reporting they're supposed to be boldly defending. 20/ http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/mass-shootings-threat-assessment-shooter-fbi-columbine/ …

      I once wrote that mass shootings are "a theater of violence in which we are the unwitting yet compliant audience." That's still true. And I've seen no deep attempt by journos to dispute it — only eyerolls, claims that it's not their job to worry about it. They're wrong. 21/21

          Studies suggest that mass shooters thrive on media attention. To deprive them of that oxygen, @realDailyWire will no longer publish the names or photographs of mass shooters.

          You make journalists sound a lot like cigarette manufacturers in this thread, tbh.

          In my piece I focused on "not naming" by a TV network that otherwise copiously covered (or overcovered) the event. Has anyone teased out a "naming" contagion?
