To run or not to run

Hi-
The assignment for our journalism class was to decide whether or not to run a series of very graphic photos. Here are the questions I need to answer:

Would you run these photos?
Only the first one.

What criteria did you you use to make a decision?

Most of the photos were simply too horrifying to consider.


Under what circumstances would you run the photos?

I probably wouldn't run the photo at a small local paper.


Would your decision be different if the events were local?

I still wouldn't run any of the rest of them.


Does where or how you play the photo have any bearing on your decision?

I think it could have some bearing on my decision in certain instances, but
not in any of these pictures.


With which photo did you struggle the most? Why

I thought about the final picture because the victim's face was obscured,
but I tried to picture it in a respectable newspaper and couldn't do
it.
