Here: Don't splash killer's face everywhere. His individual story is an illusion of knowledge, summarize. Don't put panic shots on loop.1/2

Don't publish method/weapon porn (detailed maps, many weapon pictures, excessive technical method). Report on victims, structural factors.//

Individual "profiles" are useless. Troubled people with guns. Too many false positives, no predictive capability. https://twitter.com/dlepeska/status/915198363691339776 …

I make no call to censor actual news. Don't give the killer attention on their terms, don't loop snuff films, etc.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/914819173112532993 …

Focus on victims; gun control; that the CDC is banned from studying guns; structural factors that produce these regularly. So much material!

For ex: CNN autoplays video with sound of automatic fire. One, you're autoplaying a snuff film. Two, that's exactly what inspires copycats.

This particular type of mass murderer is killing *for* the infamy. That's the goal. Why does media comply so meekly?https://twitter.com/briandonohue/status/915212499213062147 …

Replying to @zeynep
Some guesses: commercial imperatives; audience interest; herd mentality; news cycle pace; pressures of scaled down newsrooms
