Media and the first anniversary       Realize that the media will be very interested in covering first anniversary activities and events. Establish a media area. Determine where the media will set up cameras so as not to intrude on the ceremony. Decide if you will have a media pool (selected media representatives who share information) or allow all media to attend. Meet with the media in advance to establish mutually beneficial guidelines. Ask the media to: Refrain from replaying or reprinting images of the crisis. Showing disturbing pictures has the potential to retraumatize victims. Honor the victims and not glorify the perpetrators of violence. Respect the privacy of those who do not want to be interviewed. Consider a “no fly” zone over an outdoor memorial service. Develop a list of students and faculty who are willing to be interviewed and help facilitate these interviews. Develop positive story ideas that promote hope and healing.
