How cautious should we be when sharing any graphic or violent material that we come across? Showbiz website TMZ has faced backlash from fans after it published photos of Liam Payne's dead body. They then deleted the photos following a furious outcry from fans and celebrities who branded it a 'disgrace' just claim the title of "first" to break or confirm the story. The issue on social media brought up a broader conversation on society's general desensitization to sharing graphic images, and also the responsibility that we all have, to protect and humanize people no matter how big the "story is" that we've received, whether we are the media, or everyday citizens in the public. Kaya News Editor in Chief, Katy Katopodis joins the Drive 959 team to make sense of the matter.
