1. Discuss how the contributing photographer and journalist told
this story in a way that was respectful of the young man, his
family, and community.
In other words,

what was said and how it was said? What choices did the journalists make
about what they included and how they discussed what
they saw and heard? (selection and deflection)

2. Look closely at the images that accompany the audio.
How are those images selected, framed, and composed?
What is the effect of the choices that the photographer(s)
made?

3. What are the consequences of these choices for how we
