2. Do you think that anything is too graphic to be shown in news reports on television or in the newspaper? If so, what do you consider too graphic, and why? Certain things are just inappropriate to have on a service anyone can watch. News is meant to cover recent events, that being said we don't need too much detail, since people don't watch the news to see gore or nudity. We just didn't sign up to see that stuff. The news is meant to educate not disturb.

There is a thing such thing as too graphic even for the newspaper and television. I would consider like stated above that nudity and gore is too graphic since the news just needs to talk about the topic and us as the audience and look more in depth. The news could also put a trigger warning prior to showing the picture on the television. although a TW would work and the audience researching on there on I feel some of the gory pictures are invasive to the victims and families.
