Hearing about the loss of soldiers in war is very tragic. Imagining what their families must be going through is even harder to comprehend. The Bernard family had every right to not let the picture of their son, who was shot to be published in the newspapers.
When people lose someone that close to them, they are often very sensitive about having information and graphic images of that person easily available to the public. Pentagon spokesman Shawn Turner says, “honor the family’s request to not have the photos published, out of respect for their son.”
Still, many newspapers proceeded and went ahead and published the photograph, some even on the front page. This is absolutely against ethical guidelines and the newspapers that published it are will have serious consequences.
