Media Call: Responsible Reporting of Mass Murders for Public Safety
This document urges media outlets to change how they report on mass murders. The goal is to deny perpetrators the attention they seek and prevent copycat incidents, potentially reducing future tragedies. Citizens may observe media focusing more on victims and heroes, and less on the criminals themselves.
Key points
Media is urged to cover mass murders with sensitivity similar to suicides, to avoid encouraging further tragedies.
Prioritize memorializing victims and covering their stories, as well as highlighting the heroism of responders and bystanders.
Recommendations include avoiding naming or publishing photos of perpetrators unless crucial for their capture.
