Bicyclist killed in downtown Minneapolis, closing nearby streets - TwinCities.com
I can’t believe that the Pioneer Press posted a photo of the body of this cyclist who was killed. It’s terrible for the friends and family of this individual. I should note that shortly after this happened I was biking to work about four blocks away. Rest in peace. Call them and complain: 651.222.1111
I’d be totally cool with the media posting photos of my dead body in a situation like this (of course, I wouldn’t be around to complain). To me, that makes the story more graphic and real, which may make a slightly larger impression compared to the same story without the graphic photo(s).
