NABJ on Use of Victim’s Image in GA Shooting: News Outlets Must Take Steps to Minimize Harm

Washington, DC | 2 weeks ago

As news outlets continue to report on the tragic shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, we encourage our colleagues to take all necessary measures to minimize any potential harm by ensuring that all forms of content shared are accurate. NABJ was concerned to learn that local news station WSB-TV posted a 14-year-old Black male's image on social media that portrayed him as the suspect rather than the victim of the shooting.  While the station acknowledged the display of his image alongside information about the suspect as being inadvertent and said it swiftly removed the post followed by an issued apology, we as an industry must critically examine the impact of such mistakes and how to prevent them. The victim's image quickly gained global attention as the suspect and became a top trending topic on X.
