Today we talked about a marine that was killed in battle. A photojournalist caught an image of his last moments and published it, the family of this marine was upset that it was published. In my opinion, I believe it was good the photo was published because a lot of people don't fully understand what is happening over seas and a photo captures it perfectly. Certain images should have not been published such as the ones that show peoples bodies being blown up and ones that show gross bloody bodies. Some people are too young to see certain things.
I think that newspapers and TV media do cross some lines with what they publish. They do have a right and a reason to publish some things they do but they should definitely talk to the family or close friends and see what they think about the photos being published. Based on what the family says decides whether or not the photo should be published.
