Here's a handy #nonotoriety photo reminder to share with your friendly neighborhood media outlet/newscaster/journalist who insist on making mass murderers famous.
San Diego high school students, in partnership with San Diego Unified School Police and Crime Stoppers San Diego, launched their “If You See Something, Say Something” Public Service Announcement.
What are your thoughts about this video being released?
The Sun Sentinel explores the debate over whether the newsworthiness of videos such as the one released of the Parkland perpetrator, outweighs the harm they may cause. #nonotoriety
The video manifesto of the #Parkland perpetrator was just released - essentially giving this coward exactly what he wanted. Rewarding mass murderers with fame is a threat to public safety and downright wrong.
If you agree, make your voice heard NOW. Use hashtag #NoNotoriety in response to every news outlet and journalist sharing this killer's video or photo.
Wishing a speedy recovery to teacher & hero Jason Seaman as well as a Noblesville West Middle School student who was also shot and wounded in their classroom on Friday. Holding everyone impacted by this tragedy in our hearts.
In recent days the #NoNotoriety hashtag has, unfortunately, been used for political agenda. To clarify, since it's inception on July 21, 2012, No Notoriety has been and continues to be a non-political movement solely advocating for public safety.
The No Notoriety protocol was drafted with intentional respect for the First Amendment. We believe responsible reporting for the sake of public safety does not require censorship only reasonable care.
Just as the media has taken th...e voluntary steps to not publish names/photos of juveniles and victims of sexual assault and suicide, the No Notoriety protocol urges the media to adopt a similar voluntary, do-no-harm restriction to limit the gratuitous use of the name and photo of individuals who commit rampage acts of mass violence, hence diminishing a proven contagion/copycat effect associated with extensive media coverage and media-induced fame. Instead, we ask that media shifts its focus to the fallen, wounded, survivors and heroes.
Sincerely,
Tom and Caren Teves, Founders No Notoriety
Parents of true hero, Alex Teves, killed in Aurora theater mass shooting on July 20, 2012

"The key to ending, or at least minimizing, the plague of mass killings, is to deprive the shooters of what they crave most: Fame. " - Dale Hartley Ph.D., MBA Psychology Today #NoNotoriety

In the wake of the #SantaFe shooting, members of the Parkland community are calling for the media to deny the perpetrator the media attention he wanted. #NoNotoriety
Honor our fallen. Our wounded. Our survivors. Our heroes. Focus on the victims, NOT their killer.
Stop the contagion effect. Adopt a #NoNotoriety policy and send a strong message to wanna-be copycat mass killers, "You will not receive fame in this way anymore!"
#ResponsibleReportingNow #MinimizeHarm #SantaFeHighSchool #FactsNotFame
Here is yet another reminder of why No Notoriety is so important. From the perpetrator directly: he wanted his story told. With every share of his name and his photo, the media are giving him the very fame and notoriety he wants.
Keep in mind, however, that the perpetrator is not the only consideration. Somewhere in this country is another disgruntled student with a grievance who also seeks attention. When they see how much attention today’s perpetrator receives, they may be... more inclined to commit a similarly public act in belief they too will get fame and notoriety. We must break the cycle.
Help us hold the media accountable.

Another great find by Hal Jennings. This is a letter to the editor in this morning’s Austin American-Statesman regarding the recent bombings. Another important call for #NoNotoriety. Thank you for sharing!
If you see any great examples of No Notoriety at work, please be sure to share them with us!
A great reference to the importance of prioritizing the heroes of these tragedies over their perpetrators. Thank you to Hal Jennings for sharing this find with us. #NoNotoriety
"On the car radio this morning, there it was again: The reporter said the man in Toronto was a fan of the mass killer in Santa Barbara, Calif., who summed it up this way: “Infamy is better than total obscurity.”
So I ask my fellow journalists: When the killers themselves are telling us they draw inspiration from the prospect of our coverage, why do we continue to say their names and show their pictures? Nothing is ever learned by doing this. No explanation requites the deadly facts. If nothing’s gained, what could be our motive — especially knowing that we might be supplying theirs?"
James Shaw Jr., 29, is being hailed a hero after disarming a rampage shooter in a TN Waffle House.
Four families in Tennessee are mourning the loss of loved ones. Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29; Joe R. Perez, 20; Deebony Groves, 21; and Akilah Dasilva, 23, were all killed in the early morning shooting on Sunday, according to the Nashville Police Department.
