"Peeping Tom" Does the media truly go too far?

Does the Media truly go too far?
Are you prepared to pin prick your way through every selective issue the Media has created to offend you? In light of recent events people have been asking themselves the question of what the Media as a whole has the right to do and is it ethically correct.
In Charlie Brooker's BBC series "Newswipe" A forensic psychiatrist outlines the things the media shouldn't be doing if they wish not to propagate more mass murderers. However I am sceptical of  this for several reasons, I am no psychiatrist which obviously could be part of the issue but last time I checked viewing how many people died in a crime didn't cause more people to become killers. I do however agree with his idea that making a mass murderer into an "Anti-hero" is quiet absurd and will lead people to believe some villains to be a sort of, Revolutionary nihilistic breaker of the mass media society we live in today.
"Don't start the story with sirens blaring" Well, I would find this hard because the fact is when people hear of something devastating or something that morally rocks them to their bones, sirens do blare. "Not to have photographs of the killer" I'm unsure of what the lead is here... I thought on this for awhile and unless I'm missing something crucial showing a picture of a murderer shouldn't create more murderers but maybe I am being mislead by myself and totally missing the point.

A thing that I am also iffy about is localising a story, I am understanding that the issue is to only give information to directly affected communities but does that mean you want to localise issues in Syria or is this selective to only mass murderers or rape? I can't help feeling that the Psychiatrist is writing a lot of this on the basis on being empathetical rather then rational.

Of course you have read on channel 7's giving of graphic footage and harassing attitude of the women who lost her daughter on a quad bike, clutching her deceased daughter obviously distraught the camera-man took advantage, snapping footage of the scene. They released this footage with knowledge that the immediate family hadn't even been notified of the young girls accident. This of course raises ethical questions and the mother was quick to post an angry statement on the channel 7's Facebook which was rudely deleted "accidently" from their page. But then the footage they took was not that of breaking the law, so what is the correct action to take? Of course you would most likely to agree that justice is a loose term when the involvement of law comes into play.

You can most likely tell I am sceptical of many of these issues but still in the grey, still undecided and my opinion is set to change at any moment.
