That's right. Social media users are generally becoming savvier, smarter, more sensitive. Mass media not so much.https://twitter.com/datatheism/status/867363303412117506 …
zeynep tufekci added,
Publicizing details of the bomb is exact analogy to publicizing method of suicide: no news value, demonstrated increase in odds of copycats.
Not just teaching bomb-making: charts/methods outlines plant what's called "seeds of ideation"—increasing likelihood of inspiration
act.
Not new ground; this is well-understood ground. Editors at newspapers need to create ethics guidelines the way we do for suicide coverage.
There are things where news value and ethics are at a tension. Here, don't see any upside to publicizing in-depth details of methods/bombs.
