| Would you publish these pictures?
Mouse over these images to learn more about what they show. According to a survey by the Associated Press Managing Editors, 41 percent of readers and journalists would have published the top photo on the front page of a newspaper. Regarding the other photo, 38 percent of respondents would have published it on the front page of a newspaper. If the victims had been white Americans, do you think the responses would have been the same? Is race a factor in the publication decision? Or does physical distance between the event and a newspaper's place of publication play a larger role in determining what is an acceptable image?
