This is a (emotionally) tough one. Would love to hear—and share—your thoughts.

Talk about gun control. Don’t talk about the shooter himself.

oliverrudkin answered:
perhaps have a viewpoint of your own rather than pandering to the crowd? You’re supposed to be journalists for Christ’s sake.

on-pens-and-needles answered:
Talk about how to prevent this from ever happening again-gun control that actually controls guns. No pictures and don’t use the shooters name

Do not try to make it exciting or interesting.

How about nor giving the shooter any press. How about treating it like a streaker? Maybe if mass shootings didn’t get weeks of national cover

recordingtime answered:
not to cover the killer and why he did it. he’s got too much attention on him already, might just spawn more people to go out and shoot ppl

measureddoses answered:
Stay focused on the victim’s families.. nothing about the murderer or his motives is important.

starsgonedark answered:
I want to know about the victims. I want to know what made them smile, to remember that they aren’t just a tally. They were people.

geoffreyacooper answered:
Just keep children out of it. Leave them be. They are too young to comprehend the magnitude of an event like this. Interview parents instead.

electriccharlie answered:
Just the facts. No glorifying this through over-reporting. No speculation. No holding back about gun laws because “It’s too soon.”

Infographic in the rise in gun tragidies leading to this shooting?

vodkaredbulls answered:
Let’s focus on improving humanity. The issue of guns wouldn’t exist if people did not want (or “need”) to hurt others.

No attention for the shooter. Solutions that make assault weapons less available to the mentally ill without outlawing legitimate ownership.

Tell us what is happening. Confirm it. You know, journalism. Don’t rush to publish rumors just to get it on air first.

by throwing away objective journalism and straight up demanding gun control legislation from the GOP House. Shame. I want shame on the cover.

veloeellois answered:
No pictures of victims’ families and crying children, please. They deserve privacy in the midst of this tragedy.

laurakdempsey answered:
Ditto on don’t go straight to the politics. Don’t encourage people to immediately leverage tragedy to make a point.

cobaltbluetony answered:
Stay off of the gun control, and focus on the mental health issues of this country.

Obviously there needs to be discussion about gun control, but don’t descend to partisan bickering. This is about mourning, not fighting.

Politically and morally. Gun control now.

gabberdoo answered:
Remind us of the victims. Do not glorify the shooter. Tell us what the heros did and give support to survivors. Bring grace to the coverage.

totheedgesoftheearth answered:
I agree with previous comments - I don’t want to hear anything about the shooter. Not a word. He/she doesn’t deserve it. What a coward.

just a tribute. do not report anytihng else about it. there is enough about it already

altidude answered:
Search YouTube for “Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe 25/03/09” and tell us what you think of those thoughts.

thethirdcomingofchris answered:
I would love to see Newsweek provide a simple tribute without invading victims’ privacy. Then, spark a genuine discussion on gun control.

awildemilyappeared answered:
Give the facts, express sincere condolences, but DON’T SENSATIONALIZE IT. That just gives more incentive for psychopaths to be violent.
