      I know it's fashionable to decry the Daily News front page photo, but why? I'm not clear on why it's any different than any other crime pic

      @AntDeRosa @mathewi My piece on what we know about how sensational coverage and infamy inspires copycats. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html …

      @zeynep @AntDeRosa: Thanks. I guess in general I'm not in favor of restricting access to info to prevent a theoretical future crime

      @mathewi @AntDeRosa It's not a restriction of news. Gee. There is no compulsory law to put killer's face on every front page.

      @mathewi @AntDeRosa You get that this is a choice, right? One choice leads to a well-documented outcome: more copycat killings.

      @zeynep @AntDeRosa: I get that it's a choice, yes. But I think there are other factors at play as well, as you mentioned in your piece

      @mathewi @AntDeRosa So don't call it restriction. And I'm calling it a choice that inspires the next killer, because we know that it does.

          @zeynep @AntDeRosa: It is a restriction of info though. You're talking about the media collectively deciding not to report certain details.

          @mathewi @AntDeRosa Does the media report every available detail, always? Nope. There is so much space so you choose. Choose better.

          @zeynep @AntDeRosa: I think we would get a lot farther by restricting access to weapons than restricting access to information

          @mathewi @AntDeRosa That is a false dichotomy. Nobody here is arguing against the former. And not restriction. Choice. Editorial choice.

          @zeynep @mathewi I worked in Nigeria where violence is routinely under reported by the local media. Violence still happens, just not on TV >

          @zeynep @mathewi Notions that it's not a restriction are a bit strange... How would you enforce it? There has to be a penalty element?
