Quote “I found the June 23, 2007 issue of The Philippine Star disturbing beacuse of a story about an accident in Mandaluyong City accompanied by a photo.
Quote “The photo was that of Victor Michael Angeles being taken out of his wrecked car. The photo was too close and you can see lots of blood all over his body.Angeles’ appearance was unimaginable. His eyes were bloated as well as is head and his mouth was somewhat “crushed.” You would also see the cry of pain in his torn face. The photo was horrible.
Quote “I think it violated the PPI Code of ethics which states,”we shall avoid at all times….photographs, visuals ang graphics that are racist, sexist, INSENSITIVE….”. If taking photo of dead people needs cautiousness, I think it also applies to people in a horrible state (ex. accident victims).The photo,for me, was more “gross” than pathetic. I believe The Star should have been more sensitive to the victim, his family as well as to the readers.” Closed-quote.
