美國《洛杉磯時報》和《華盛頓郵報》都有刊出爭議相片,未有加工遮掩男童容貌。洛杉磯時報的副總編Kim Murphy解釋,編輯部高層對有關做法有共識,「圖片不是冒犯性、不是血腥、不是無味。它是令人心碎的,是一個鮮明的證詞,去揭開在在敘利亞、土耳其、歐洲發生的人類悲劇」。 # D3 A% [3 @ q8 m5.39.217.768 ^6 M; X |( Y8 n$ z
美國兩大報章《紐約時報》及《華爾街日報》就未有刊出該爭議性相片,而選擇刊出另一張土耳其警員抱起男孩的圖片,相中未能清晰看到男孩面容,爭議性明顯較低。不過《紐約時報》執行編輯Dean Baquet仍形容,刊出的照片力量強大,足以顯示了今次悲劇的嚴重性。6 {4 P1 k- r# ]7 v! L" p3 W+ P

各地傳媒的做法在網上引發爭論。有記者在Twitter上發表意見,認為有必要這樣刊出相片,令大眾了解了敘利亞戰爭及歐洲庇護難民方面引發的問題。不過亦有傳媒人擔心過份報道該相片,會令人覺得報章是消費這個轟動圖像,並從中獲利,影響大眾對傳媒的觀感。 / e `. |+ ^; Q) ]1 t* ~ ]6 S+ v# o2 p2 d
事實上今次各大媒體報道的相片,只是問題的冷山一角。「U.S. Uncut」報道稱,上周有150具難民屍體被沖到利比亞岸邊,當中不少為小孩。不過有關相片被Facebook刪除,網站於是刊出了多張相片,揭示難民兒童的死亡情況。(讀者按連結前請注意,相片可能引起不安)
