“We've had 20 years of mass murders throughout which I have repeatedly told CNN and our other media, if you don't want to propagate more mass murders, don't start the story with sirens blaring. Don't have photographs of the killer. Don't make this 24/7 coverage. Do everything you can not to make the body count the lead story, not to make the killer some kind of anti-hero. Do localize the story to the affected community and make it as boring as possible in every other market. Because every time we have intense saturation coverage of a mass murder, we expect to see one or two more within a week.” IfsWantYearsKindTwoStoriesBodyCommunityWeekMediaHeroMassMurderPhotographBoringIntenseAffectedKillersCan NotCoverageCnnSirensSaturationAnti Hero Author:Park Dietz
