Subject: "Ethical Problems of Mass Murder Coverage in the Mass Media"

This paper appears in Vol. 9, No. 1, _Journal of Mass Media Ethics_,
pp. 26-42.  The abstract:

	This article analyzes news coverage of mass murders in
	_Time_ and _Newsweek_ for the period 1984 to 1991 for
	evidence of disproportionate, perhaps politically
	motivated coverage of certain categories of mass murder.
	Discusses ethical problems related to news and enter-
	tainment attention to mass murder, and suggests methods
	of enhancing the public's understanding of the nature
	of murder.

The JMME is a widely respected journal in the media business.
Even if you local newspaper editor doesn't read the JMME, he
usually knows about it.

This is also my first referred journal article.  It appeared in
the last week or so, so not every library necessarily has this
number of JMME on the shelf yet.

I ordered up 200 reprints of the article, which I am willing to
sell for $3 each, delivered first class mail.  Since the article
is 17 pages long, if you chose to violate copyright and make a
copy of it yourself, you probably wouldn't save much money anyway
by photocopying it, you'll have to go find it in a library, and
your copy won't look anywhere near as nice.
