I am, sadly, going to retweet an earlier thread. Media: please don’t put the killer’s face on loop, on front pages, on your app notifications. Don’t sensationally publicize manifestos. Focus on victims and structural causes. Don’t help inspire the next killer.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/963900584901226497 …

Sensible coverage, editorial decisions similar to those about suicides (as per CDC guidelines) would have gone a long way. Nobody is calling for censorship. Just some sense. Here are two of my pieces with very concrete suggestions. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html …https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/12/the-media-needs-to-stop-inspiring-copycat-murders-heres-how/266439/ …

Yes. I've been contacted by grieving loved ones of victims who told me that despite their intense pain, they pushed themselves to be available to media *just so* that they could prevent the journalists from otherwise giving attention to the killer.
