Overexposed
From: The Trauma Beat
$1.10
In this chapter, Cherry explores the ethical issues surrounding crime scene photographs. Cherry reflects on her experiences as a reporter desperate to get the ‘body shot’, the high value photograph of the victim at the scene of the crime. She contrasts this with the survey answers from surviving family of the victims, who communicate their experiences of feeling violated, angry, traumatized, and helpless upon seeing these images.
