N&O faced tough questions after receiving killer's videotape
Raleigh News & Observer
Alvaro Castillo, 19, sent the tape to the News & Observer minutes before he went on a shooting spree at Orange County High School. Ted Vaden writes: "The N&O faced a number of tough questions: Should it publish text and pictures from the videotape, which contained disturbing content? And came from an apparently mentally disturbed person? Should the paper turn over the tape to police? And, a first for The N&O, should it post the videotape on its Web site?" Managing editor John Drescher says he didn't have much trouble deciding whether to publish. "It appears that this guy drives onto public school property and starts shooting, injuring a few people slightly. So by any definition, this is news." More editor/publisher/ombud columns:
