Gory images in newspapers
Halimul Mannan, Monroe, Louisiana, USA
The recent trend of publishing gruesome, bloody pictures of dead bodies or severely injured persons in daily newspapers is unsuitable for the small children in a household. Those horrific pictures being printed in the media in colour with blood all over the person's face and body make it even more unendurable. In a household, the daily newspaper is accessible to everyone including the children and we, as parents, definitely do not want our kids to be exposed to such cruelty in print or in person. It is, in fact, somewhat uncouth and ungraceful to publish such frightening images to make the story sensational.
