I thought it was actually quite counterproductive. It is interesting but without having public interest value—and known to inspire copycats.

Ok - as a journo professor, hugely useful as a ‘this is how it’s done’

Reporting this detailed on method doesn’t illuminate anything of public interest, but just like suicides, it fuels contagion and copycats.

That’s why CDC has guidelines of how to report on suicide, making all this very clear. Pretty clearly applies to mass shootings.

I know what you are saying but I disagree here. A factual verified timeline is in the public interest, showing the methodology is valuable

Can be reported, but this. And the timeline to the millisecond is in public interest how? Extensive evidence that inspires the next one.

How many of these shootings did we have? Obsessing over the minutiae of method of attack is like menthol to medicine. Newsy smell, not news.

one of the rare occasions I disagree with
@zeynep but I'm also biased because I worked with@malachybrowne in@storyful where we documented 100s if not 1000s of similar events in Syria/Libya/Egypt/Bahrain/Yemen/Paris/London.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Civil wars don’t have copycat effects. Terrorism, mass shootings, suicides—the details are almost never illuminating but everyone obsesses.

Twitter may not be the forum for such a detailed debate as this. But I fundamentally disagree that we should somehow *ignore* available evidence and with it constructive informative narratives that inform the public (which I believe this is an example of)
