This article written in
The Atlantic outlines a way for the media to stop mass murderers from attaining fame. The author, Conor Friedersdorf, explains in his article that mass murderers enjoy the thought of their faces plastered all over the media. So if the media was to not publish information about the mass murderers but instead focus on the victims this may take part of the thrill away for the murderer and possibly prevent more mass killings. This article interested me because I have always found it morbid how much the media focuses on the killer instead of the victims. Also, as an aspiring law student, the author's idea interests me from a law standpoint because it works around the 1st amendment in a way that is lawful.
