Quote:In my humble opinion the media needs to change how it reports on mass killings and shootings.The killer shouldn't get his face plastered all over the front page of newspapers and tv.


Might just be me but I don't really care if the guy was bullied or if he grew up badly.The focus in these stories should go to the victims with the killer playing as small a role in the story as possible.The media gives these guys what they want.


I know its also important for the news to be honest and accurate after events like this but it just seems like it could be done in a different way.

 

I understand where you're coming from, but it is news so they have to cover the killer.

 

To be honest I don't think the guy in Germany was mainly concerned with press coverage, as he was insane and now he's dead.

 

And don't worry, he'll be out of the news in no time, as a new mass killing is bound to happen in a few more days.
