You have to be careful about babies and bathwater. While, of course, it was more than regretable that this murderer was helped to find his victim by what was published in the media, if you make the media criminally responsible for the actions of every nutter who reads them they would end up reporting nothing but grain harvests and five-year plans.
There has been talk of local newspapers not publishing pictures of children (following sporting success, 1st communion or whatever) for fear of stirring up the paedophiles.
Is that the world we want to build for ourselves? Or would we rather tackle the real criminals rather than taking out the soft targets?
