Gannett newspapers no longer documenting local mugshots | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 23196659 United States 06/10/2020 10:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “Message from our editors We have made an editorial decision to discontinue the publication of mugshot galleries, or mugshot photos that are not associated with a story or other editorial content, effective immediately. Mugshot galleries presented without context may feed into negative stereotypes and, in our editorial judgment, are of limited news value. Instead, we will focus on the best ways to inform our readers by providing relevant information that will keep our communities safe and continuing to cover crime, as well as the public safety system. This policy change does not impact the use of mugshots associated with articles or other editorial content.” |
