I can't get my head around the idea that someone would search the internet for pictures of the dead and dying. A clear line needs to be drawn between what is IN the public interest and what is OF interest to the public. A picture of a dying baby in Africa would, to my mind, be justifiable in that it may prick consciences and create action. A picture of a dying princess unable to shield herself is, to my mind, an unjustifiable intrusion and very questionable journalism.
The press must be free but with that comes the responsibility of self-censorship to steer it away from voyeurism and sensationalism.
