In the wake of recent mass shootings, the reasons for such events have been heavily debated. A recent online post (http://imgur.com/x0BBU) has brought up the issue of massive publicity provided by mainstream media which guarantees that any serial killer becomes a household name in the wake of sufficient senseless killing.



We petition the mainstream media (television, print, and online) to denounce such senseless murder by proclaiming that they will no longer publicize the name or picture of any future mass killers.



This will eliminate a major incentive for such killers and prevent them from immortalizing themselves in infamy. We hope that this solution will be adopted by the mainstream media and allow them to put their money where their mouths are.
