Kupiga picha maiti mortuary

[MIGNON]

Imekuwa ni kawaida sasa kuonyeshwa picha za marehemu katika magazeti na vyombo vingine vya habari na hata pale vifo hivyo vinapotokana na ajali. Maiti wanakuwa katika hali ambayo ni ya fadhaa lakini vyombo vyetu vimekuwa vinazitoa. Naomba ushauri wa kisheria kuhusu hili na hasa pale picha hizi zinapopigwa katika sehemu kama mortuary. Mshirika ya habari kama BBC na CNN hawaonyeshi picha hizi na huko ndiko tunapoiga mambo yetu mengi-

Ni kweli kabisa lakini katika hao uliowataja matukio yao ni katika vita na naamini ile ilikuwa psychological warfare ambapo kama kuna waliokuwa wanshikaman na hao jamaa ilibidi wavunjike moyo.Kwa hili la Sharobaro,wasanii wale wa taarabu na wengine wengi sidhani kama kuna sababu ya msingi ya kufanya hivyo zaidi ya kumdhalilisha maiti.

bongo tunaishi kimsituni msituni ndo maana watu wanapenda kudhalilisha marehemu, imagine ni wewe au nduguyo kaanikwa hiyo akiwa kafa?

Haki ya maiti na haki ya wanaoishi. There must something wrong. Ni kujua ni nini utaratibu wa jamii inayowazunguka, je tunapenda kuongea zaidi ya kutenda. Je nani anapenda ukweli halisia na ni nani anapenda uongo ulio na maneno mazuri japo anajua huo ni uongo? Je wanajamii tunapenda mtu afe ilitupate picha za ktk chumba cha maiti? Hii ni hoja kila mtu na mtazamo wake

mhh swala hili kiukweli si jambo zuri, kibinaadamu si vema kumdhalilisha maiti,hasa kwa kumtoa picha zake kwenye vyombo vya habari.

nafikiri sheria hii itazamwe tena na soon utaona magazeti ya udaku ndio itakuwa habari kuu kwa kuzusha mambo mengi ya siyo na msingi hasa kwenye kifo cha Sharo

[h=2]Newspaper rapped for second time over dead body pics[/h]by Sarah Bould, last updated on May 24, 2012

A Scottish newspaper has been rapped by the Press Complaints Commission for publishing a picture of a dead body – despite being censured for the same offence last year.
The Daily Record published the picture of the body of a dead man who had died in a road traffic accident the previous day.
In an article headlined ‘Two die in lorry, car and minibus pile-up' on 16 December the picture showed the man in the vehicle that he had died in.
His wife, Laura McQueen, complained that the photograph was graphic as it clearly showed her husband's injured face and had caused severe shock and upset to her family.
The newspaper apologised immediately and unreservedly to the family, explaining that it had not realised that the image had included the deceased man.
It issued new rules to its picture desk and production staff regarding the use of photographs with graphic content to ensure the error would not happen again. It also published a page two apology and offered to meet the complainant so that the editor could apologise in person.
The Commission found a clear breach of Clause 5, intrusion into grief or shock, of the Editors' Code of Practice.
It ruled that the publication of such an explicit image so soon after the death did not meet the Code's requirement on handling publication sensitively.
In October 2011 HTFP reported that a complaint against the newspaper was upheld when they published a photo of a dead body found on a footpath wrapped in sheeting. The outline of the dead man's arms and body could clearly be seen in the photo.
Although the press watchdog acknowledged that the publication of the photograph in the latest case was inadvertent, and that the newspaper's response had been "appropriate and responsible", it ruled that the breach "was not capable of remedy". It upheld the complaint as a result.
Charlotte Dewar head of complaints and pre-publication services said: "Clause 5 of the Editors' Code is designed to protect people when they are at their most vulnerable.
"This case illustrated how a failure to ensure sensitive handling in the report of a recent death – however inadvertent – can cause serious pain to those involved. As the Commission recognised in its ruling, once this has happened it can be very difficult or even impossible to remedy the harm done."

Horrifying pictures from the recent earthquake in Haiti and a disturbing video of a fatal Olympic luge crash have renewed an age-old debate: Should news organizations publish graphic images, or err on the side of caution and withhold them?
How do photo editors and broadcast producers make such decisions? And what should aspiring journalists know about making such calls?
Kenneth Irby has been there. As a former photo editor at Newsday and the founder of thePoynter Institute's photojournalism program he's often had to make tough calls about which pictures went to press.
What makes such choices difficult, he says, is that there's rarely a clear-cut right-or-wrong answer.
But he does offer three guiding principles for making such decisions:
1. Maximize truth-telling: "This is what journalists do, document reality, report what you see to your audience," Irby says. "You are the eyes of the world and people are depending on you to report what you see." In other words, evaluate the news value of the pictures or videos in question.
2. Act independently: Make a decision based on your own guidelines, free from any pressures from outside influences.
3. Minimize harm: "Understand that some of the things we publish will have a negative impact on some individual. There are situations where people can be harmed by what they see, when they see death, when they see pain and trauma. That comes with the territory," he says.
[h=3]Questions of Taste, Proportion and Context[/h]Issues of taste also come into it, but "different publications will make different decisions based on their journalistic values, their audience and their organization's mission," Irby says in a phone interview. "The New York Times will make a different call than the New York Post or some other paper."
Proportion and context are also important. In Haiti, for example, there were many pictures of dead bodies published in the immediate aftermath of the quake.
"The question becomes, how many dead bodies do you show, and in what proportion do you show those as the news evolves?" Irby says. "If you're still showing nothing but pictures of dead bodies in the third or fourth day of your coverage then the audience may have the right to complain."
Readers often complain that graphic photos, if nothing else, violate the privacy of the person being photographed. But the real picture is often more complicated, Irby says.
For instance, during his time at Newsday in the 1990s, Irby was evaluating pictures from the Bosnian genocide. One photograph showed a woman standing over a tiny open casket bearing a child's body, but her anguished face stared directly into the camera.
"I didn't quite understand what I saw seeing," Irby recalls. "Then I read the caption from the photographer. It turned out the mother had been pleading with him to take the picture. Many times photographers are invited in to a situation because the people there have an interest in having their stories told."
The Internet has complicated matters. Graphic images and videos, even those withheld by the mainstream media, often make their way onto blogs and file-sharing sites.
"When al Jazeera posts the video of Daniel Pearl being beheaded it's a story and you can't ignore it," Irby says. "On the other hand, you can't make the same kind of decision they did. You're forced to ask, do I link to this? Do I use it in any way? Those are new decisions that journalists have to face because of the Internet."
[h=3]A Picture of a Dying Marine[/h]A case from last fall illustrates well the sometimes agonizing considerations news organizations must factor in when faced with such a decision. The Associated Press in September distributed a photo of a dying U.S. Marine in Afghanistan. The photo, part of a series of pictures, was released along with a story that bore the headline, "The Death of One Marine in Afghanistan."
The decision immediately drew fire. Defense Secretary Robert Gates called AP's move "appalling," and in a letter to AP president Thomas Curley, Gates noted that the photo was released over the objection of the Marine's grieving father. Newspapers that subscribed to the AP seemed evenly divided about whether to publish it.
The AP said the decision was made only after extensive deliberations, and that an AP reporter met with the Marine's parents to show them the pictures before they were released.
"AP journalists have covered conflict around the world for 163 years and witnessed countless scenes of war's deadly consequence," the wire service said in a statement. "But the decision to distribute them is never quickly or easily made. Ultimately, in this case, AP decided that, in the context of the full report, it was important to show readers and viewers the images."
Irby says it's important to have a process in place for making such decisions, to take the time to make them thoughtfully, and to explain them to your readers.
"You want to be able to say you made a thoughtful choice, and to be willing to disclose to your audience a level of transparency about how and why you made the decision."
But understand, also, that some of your decisions are bound to be unpopular with readers or viewers, no matter what.
"You'll never please all of the people all of the time," Irby says. "Journalism is not a popularity contest."
