I think that victims of these mass shootings should have their pictures shared on the news, in newspapers, and on social media. Congress should also have to look at them. Maybe, just maybe, it would sink into their feeble little brains what they are defending.
Agreed. The movie Till vividly points out that Till's open casket (his brutal murder) did change attitudes about lynching. Perhaps the same might happen if people had to view what this gentleman saw?
This was a wonderful column, absolutely spot on (I'm married to a journalist). You speak for so many, Ken. I posted it to Facebook. Interestingly, I read al.com daily (along with WashPo, NYT, Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Sun Community News, Press Republican and Herald-Mail. I know, quite a combo, isn't it? When I first began reading the Brookside story in al.com, I felt sure it had to win something.
I hope to read your new article on how journalism failed this country that recently exposed by the Durham report...they purported lies and exposed themselves as the working arm of the left...very sad state of affairs for this country.
The future story of newspapers will likely be written digitally. For better and worse. Let’s hope for better.
