Abstract
On September 14, 1989 a man entered a printing company named Standard Gravure and killed nine people, including himself. The shooting spree in Louisville, Kentucky was covered by the Louisville Courier-Journal who decided to include in the front page story, a photo of one of the deceased victims. The front page photo had the victim on his back with his face clearly visible for all readers to see. The killer was a former employee on disability leave named Joseph Wesbecker who was being medicated for depression. He entered the printing press company with an AK-47 assault rifle and within 30 minutes he had killed eight and injured 12 before taking his own life.
