      Incentive structure for the next shooter: get your name pushed to millions of people. Name itself has no news value. Its “newsy”, not news. https://twitter.com/lauraelizdavis/status/927321743865257984 …

      Yes. News can totally be covered without doing it in the killer’s terms—maximal, useless attention on the shooter. https://twitter.com/holden/status/927345233360076800 …

      This is the recommendation of so many experts in this field. Deny them the sensationalism they seek. Enough already. https://twitter.com/Abt_Thomas/status/927541831356829696 …

      This isn't calling for some censorship. It's not that hard to implement. Media already does this, successfully, for suicide reporting

      Media: we learn almost nothing from your profiles of the killers—except you help inspire the next one. Here's the story: guns and attention.

      I'm for naming, but not sensationalizing. Bury the name, focus on victims. Profiles can't & don't stop conspiracies. https://twitter.com/Koreandogwood/status/927555785684606977 …

      Whatever else, we know: attention on the killer on his terms helps inspire the next one. Or focus on methods. Don't. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html … pic.twitter.com/u9wYXqQBNS

          Love your writing Zeynep, but the regularity with which you're posting this link (aka the frequency of shootings) is depressing
