      Nobody likes to hear this but. These shooters are often motivated by posthumous infamy. Media coverage matters.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html …

      If you're a troubled young man in the US, there is now a well-modeled path to "revenge" & posthumous infamy. Shoot up a place. It's a cycle.

      I wouldn't be surprised in the #Pulse shooter was "inspired" by the massive attention that the unhinged couple from San Bernardino got.

      Research is clear by now: the intense, sensationalized attention on faces and words of individual mass shooters is inspiring future ones.

          US mass killers show no coherent ideological pattern to individual motivations. One thinks he's "Joker"; another thinks he's waging "Jihad".

          How notoriety motivates mass killers. Don't put their faces, names and manifestos on loop. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html …pic.twitter.com/pRVUfmQrow

          @cshirky We need a good journalism best practice of minimizing names, faces, fame of killers. Maybe name in article, not TV/radio.

          thoughts re statements of these murderers? Why do daesh a favour by publicising their killing in name of daesh?

          I'd like to see media spend a day each highlighting each victim of mass shooting. Let's publicize their names, their lost futures.

          do you have a particularly good study/lit review/etc. you can recommend? My Google-fu is failing me.
