On the ball
After falling to the ground, Matt Rose, Shawnee senior, swipes at a ball to keep it away from Bill Seckar, Olathe senior, in a game of street hockey yesterday. Equipped with Rollerblades and hockey sticks, the two try to play a few times a week despite a city ordinance that bans rollerblading within 1,000 yards of Jayhawk Boulevard.
Media differ on reporting Dahmer details
Some news organizations edit gore of trial
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE—Like the doctors who differ on whether Jeffrey Dahmer is insane, news organizations disagree on whether all the grisly details of how he mutilated young males and had sex with corpse should be reported.
"The entire thing has been about sex and violence; it is almost impossible to edit around," said Fred D'Ambrosi, news director of WISN-TV in Milwaukee. "Sometimes you pick the least
repulsive way."
Some media reporting Dahmer's killing spree as it is retold in a Milwaukee courtroom have sanitized the shocking gore, seeking to convey the essence of Dahmer's deeds without giving each gruesome detail.
But other news organizations have held back nothing, saying the public appreciates the bizarreness of the case and needs specifics to understand Dahmer's sick mind.
"A lot of people are beyond being shocked," said Editor Keith Spore of the Milwaukee Sentinel, which devoted two pages to Dahmer's confession and has been reporting virtually all details of the crimes as they come out in court.
The Washington Post has used descriptive testimony within reason, assistant national editor Bill Elsen said.
"There have only been a couple of things we paraphrased in stories rather than quoting the testimony or
the lawvers." he said.
USA Today reporter Debbie Howlett said she and her editors agreed before the trial started that most "vile details" would not be necessary to tell the story. She has used some specifics
— including that Dahmer said he put steak sauce on the flesh he cooked and ate in her stories, but not in the first few paragraphs, she said.
The trial to determine whether Dahmer, 31, was insane when he killed 15 young males enters its third week today.
