Take a cue from televised baseball games - they don't give fans who run onto the field any air time.

In the same article, the NYT names the assailant? Don't name them. The next assailant is trolling for fame.https://nonotoriety.com/

Really shy way of putting it. The media is paying (in notoriety) for “the hit.” If the assassin (terrorists and mass murderers) won’t get paid they won’t do the job. Answer is to jail anyone publicizing publicity-seeking violence. Jail, not fines, to take away the business case.

IANAL but a law like that on the books in the US, if it ever had a snowflake's chance in hell of being written, passed, and signed, might, just maybe run up against a few challenges on constitutional grounds. Something something Congress shall make no law...

The first amendment has the incitement to violence exception. This is a special case of incitement to violence: "Kill more than 10 people and we'll give you $2 billion in free publicity." Put that way, it's jail time already. This isn't actually any different in effect.

Holding media legally responsible for the actions of a sick murderer because of the anticipation of media coverage...is insane and dangerous. It’s not even close to incitement.

The status quo is dangerous. The proscription would be limited to publicity-seeking violence.

Or, just make a credible argument, sway enough people(viewers) to your side (throw in some public shame for news orgs that continue saturation coverage) and let the market effects change the news orgs behavior. If you want true societal change it has to be bottom up, not top down

The traditional 'media' used to be the main means of relaying stigmergic signals between superempower actors (terrorists, insurgents, etc.). Most of the signalling is now done directly peer to peer using social networking.

...but if the media makes the issue entirely about gun legislation and not about motivation and fame, the problem will be sure to persist and they will always have mass shootings to cover and profit from... those rascals!

By the same token, if we all stopped clicking on the links and reading about them, the media would stop that level of coverage...

I think the media knows exactly what they are doing. Fear sells. And the media isn't about accurate information...they're about making money.
