    This is The New York Times's position on why we published the photos that we did. I've deleted my earlier tweets that did not explain the reasoning behind our decision.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1085271834709368834 …

    Kimiko de Freytas-Tamura added,

    We have heard from some readers upset with our publishing a photo showing victims after a brutal attack in Nairobi. We understand how painful this coverage can be, and we try to be very sensitive in how we handle both words and images in these situations. https://nyti.ms/2VTreKW  pic.twitter.com/1sqgTnnVKW

        Well whatever it is your team claims to believe in we consider it disrespectful to families, friends and a nation as a whole, you don’t visit someone’s house and start doing things your way . We respect the dead in Kenya. Let a country mourn in peace and stay the F away from us.

        Would you post bodies of mass shootings that unfortunately happen in the US? Of course you wouldn't, but you are very comfortable publishing Kenyans. Your apology doesn't hold water. Edit the article.

        Even a worse response from your employer. No need to justify ..Just take pictures down as requested. As someone rightly put it, you are “the fake media”

        Did you even bother to confirm if next of kin of deceased were aware that their loved ones had perished before callously posting their pictures for a potential Pulitzer nomination??? 🤦🏿‍♂️

        Who uses BUT when issuing an apology? Besides, if you hide bodies of victims of mass shootings in the U.S, why not extend same standards and sympathy to #RiversideAttack victims?
