Speed readWhat's happening: A photograph of a father and his young daughter who drowned trying to cross the Rio Grande into the United States sparked anguish and outrage around the world this week. The image, taken by journalist Julia Le Duc, shows the bodies of Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and his young daughter, Valeria, face down in the water and underscored the dangers migrants encounter when attempting to enter the U.S.
Why there's debate: Advocates for showing the photos say they bear witness to the realities of some situations in a way that words cannot or that tragic images of individual people can humanize broad issues that are often only understood in the abstract. Others argue that publishers are exploiting tragedy and the result is sensational rather than informative. Some critics contend a single image can strip an event of context and dehumanize the subject by positioning those depicted as avatars for a large social issue without their consent.
And whilst asking you are showing it No you shouldn't on social media and on news sites they should put it behind a shocking image lock so people can choose to see it Kids get notifications on their phone from this as well. They should know what happens but don't need to see it
'Should media publish graphic news images' as they publish a graphic news image below it....
no please.
HuffPost it almost doesn't matter if they should. If they think it furthers their agenda, they will.
Well it seem they do anyway! BUT only if it serves a political purpose! To BLAME!
Yes only the Republicans don't want people to see it cuz it makes them look bad
Do we even know if this scene is staged or not? Many illegals die tragically! Unfortunately, we can’t believe anything published by the Democrats, or their Fake News Media!
Media does it because President Trump is President and will be another 6 yrs. However, many more died under Obama and he built the detention camps President Trump must use because dems keep stopping the WALL.
CNN, Don Lemon is dumb he says he can't stand seeing the pictures of Father and daughter dead, but he keep on showing the pictures?
Where are the pictures from Sandy Hook?
Drown in two feet of water?
Wouldn’t Trump?
What do you consider graphic
Of course
Oh, come on you guys. This is too much!
The media post photos of murderers all the time. It seems important to know who is blindly killing children. That’s a helpful tool when deciding who should be a next door neighbor.
The mission of journalism is to report events and images without bias, alterations and fabrications....something that has been missing for a long time.
No. I get that people need to really see the issues at hand, and I totally support that, but seeing dead bodies isn't necessary.
TruthFeedNews You’re publishing it
Yes, they should. Otherwise, it's easy to minimize and overlook the horror that is a standard daily feature of Trump's agenda
Why not,a picture speaks a thousand words.
Every time I see this horrific photo I get sick. This tragedy could have been prevented by Pelosi and the Democrats but they’ve been so blinded by their hatred for Trump it has destroyed their sense of reason!
Yes! Death is real & so is evil' Nvrdrmp; 99% the kkkugly45' voters' need to see what? happened to their vote' when the stay sileint' they agree to stuff, like this, weither, they like it, or not! Same as drowns & war! & beheading & what waterboarding' does..
This photo is iconic. Every photo needs an editor to consider whether it's worthy of publication--this one was a no brainer.
Of course they should! Maybe they should actually report real fucking news instead of the Kardashians and all that nonsense...😉
No. We are not a third world country. Get real.
The only reason this picture came out is to blame on Trump & make him look bad. The real fault is the dad’s bad chose. Also I put blame on the Democrats who used to push the issue for them to come over legally til Trump became President and now they encourage them to come here.
There is no ‘should’, or, ‘shouldn’t’ for media, almost all over the world. In 90%+ cases, media is characterless, and all they worry about is either their ratings, or making sure that they satisfy the hidden hands, that fund them. MediaEthics Media Journalism journalists
Absolutely! This image shook America at the time.
This pictures has been seen around the world...but the pictures of the 9/11 victims were deemed too inflammatory.
Why don't you people call this what it really is: a stupid man putting himself and his child directly in harm's way? Don't blame Trump OR America for their fate.
Yes ok. Under Obama aprox 13k immigrants died. Bring it on.
Yes, they should. Otherwise, it's easy to minimize and overlook the horror that is a standard daily feature of Trump's feature
Yes...DONOTLOOKAWAY
No.
No, and least at all for political propaganda
