The media encourages terrorism. It's great for ratings, they my as well pay them and give them guns, ammunition and explosives. No actors without an audience. Besides France and Germany, not many would give a toss about the other deaths as it's not in the main stream media.Skids wrote:What a great Idea , sweep it under the carpet, pretend it isn't happening every day and getting worse as this scourge of a religion infects the globe.Culprit wrote:http://www.news.com.au/world/europe/expert-calls-for-terror-attacks-to-be-treated-same-way-as-suicide-when-it-comes-to-media-coverage/news-story/04d99ebfd2092d9be952928a92995360

There's no doubt the media coverage helps the terrorists stated goal of spreading terror but it also serves to warn people.
While it might deter copycats (and there's no evidence that lack of media discourages suicides considering it's the No.1 cause of death in 15 to 45yr olds) it does also challenge the terrorists to up the ante if they aren't getting publicity for their smaller attacks.
Dangerous gambit.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Warn the people about what? All the media does is sensationalise what has happened, it has no capacity to warn because it doesn't know what is going to happen.stui magpie wrote:The idea has merit, but also serious flaws.Culprit wrote:http://www.news.com.au/world/europe/expert-calls-for-terror-attacks-to-be-treated-same-way-as-suicide-when-it-comes-to-media-coverage/news-story/04d99ebfd2092d9be952928a92995360

I think there needs to be a compromise.
The media should continue to report about the incidents so the public are aware and will be vigilant about what's happening around them. However, there is no need to give the perpetrator's name or religion which would remove any motivation of fame or martydom being attached to the action.
