The story of Aylan

Aylan al-Kurdi and his older brother Galip

Impact story

A Turkish police officer carries the body of Aylan Kurdi off the shores in Bodrum

The heartbreaking photograph of a dead 3-year-old boy, whose body washed up in Turkey on Sept. 2, has already had an impact on myself and also  policy, with the U.K. agreeing on Friday to take thousands more refugees. The image itself also marks important new ground.

Many reporters hide the reality of the true things happening. It is very cruel in posting a picture that shows a smile face or the boy being happy while the reality is that the boy has died. The reporter that has  publish this should investigate in deep the case rather than painting it beautiful for the public.

I believe that there is always ways in how to publish thing adequately however the reporter has to take precaution mostly when the story  is about a child that is underage. I don't say is bad about posting the death of persons , but for example he has to bare in mind that a child shouldn't be expose like that to the public rather than doing that he supposed just to post the information but not the picture of the boy. However media makes then news worthy  article by focusing on what the refuges are going through more than saying the truth on the stories behind the cause of the people.

  4. I agree with you. But also we should have in mind that if was not because of the images, we wouldn't be posting a blog about it.
