If yes, and there isn't a real public need to see the image anyway, the answer was don't print it.
Obviously SO much has changed since those days.
But it's making it really hard to engage here without taking on horrific psychological trauma on a daily basis.
Back when newsrooms were the main sources of information, this was taken into account.
In my journalism ethics class in college, my professor called it the "Wheaties test" — would this image deeply disturb the audience first thing in the morning?
Yes, there are times when public information needs should trump our discomfort.
But we've absolutely lost any safeguards or ethical considerations about what gets shared, when, where and why.
The plane crash recently is a good example. How does an individual consumer approach their feed without constant anxiety about what they'll see next?
This can't be good for us.
One of the biggest issues with social media — which I am largely a fan of — is never knowing if the next video that autoplays on my feed is going to be something horrific, like where people die before your eyes.
there’s something special about northern AZ
Arizona is a good place to be from

Homicide is down 30% year-to-date in DC this year. Violent crime down 35%.
Is this news to you? Probably, because most media focuses on stoking fear about crime through anecdote, rather than actual data
I simply love the thoughtfulness here from @joeruiz.bsky.social about mental health in journalism. Check out his words and connect with him to follow his work at Stanford

look I love the holidays but what is this about @smartnews.bsky.social
Fun fact: #ER vets Noah Wyle (Carter) and Eriq La Salle (Benton) have new shows — Max's #ThePitt and Prime Video's #OnCall — premiering the same day, Jan. 9. And it just so happens to be a Thursday!

You made it!!!
you inspired me! That plus 8 hours stuck in Heathrow
📍SAT, finally.
the customs agent asked if I had anything to declare, “any food or alcohol?” so I told him about the mince pies I got in Heathrow and he was very uninterested it’s like LOOK YOU ASKED
Back on US soil! Shaping up to be a very long travel day 💤
the fun part of a marathon travel day heading west is that it’s actually two days
Heathrow is quickly becoming one of my least favorite airports but don’t worry I’m about to connect through Atlanta to get some perspective
Update: tried to stand by an earlier flight and no dice. Booked in a few hours through ATL, prayers up!
Now playing: a jazzy version of What Child is This
Nothing more Christmassy than a flight cancellation out of Heathrow…
Using this downtime to join Bluesky since everyone is so convinced things are better here than literally all the rest of the internet! Let’s try it, shall we?
