        1. Name the shooter infrequently and only when that name is critical to helping your audience understand what happened.

        2. As more information becomes available, be careful to be accurate and contextual. Small details can take on inappropriate levels of importance in the early reporting stages. Those details can be harmful to the truth if they are inaccurate or out of context.

        3. Avoid speculating about mental illness or allowing unqualified sources to speculate about mental illness. Witnesses, law enforcement & politicians usually know very little about the topic in general, are likely to know even less about the role of mental illness in this tragedy

        4. Avoid images of the shooter that could be seen as glorifying him by others who might be inclined to other acts of violence.

        5. Superlatives, like “the deadliest mass shooting ever,” could possibly lead to contagion. Avoid using them in teasers, tweets and other formats where context is absent. Instead, use them in reporting formats where you can bring more context.

        So sad that we need an almost specialized and exclusive cadre of journalists to cover mass shootings.

        The NRA trains them to target schools so the media won't show dead children and the reality of 4 minutes in vegas was = 2 days of israeli soldiers using same weapons to kill palestinianspic.twitter.com/bZBmtEoudX

        How about keeping the media goons and their cameras away from traumatized kids? Maybe focus on school officials and law enforcement. The kids should be off limits.

        1) weaponize the media against the NRA

        2) play up the shooter being white, good way to distract from the Allah Ackbar crowd, while riling up the sjw/BLM degenerates

        Love this. If only more reporters would follow these guidelines. That's why I pretty much ignore most of what the media says, until the real facts come out days later.
