WRAL News changing policy on arrest photo galleries

WRAL News has decided to stop publication of arrest photo galleries on WRAL.com effective Monday, March 16. In its place, WRAL.com will offer maps that plot reported crimes and arrests for much of the WRAL viewing area.
The so-called “mugshot” galleries were launched more than a decade ago. A 2016 survey of newspapers found that 40 percent of those surveyed were running arrest photos similar to the WRAL.com galleries.
In recent years, however, many observers have begun to question the value of these photos and their potential for either reinforcing or creating stereotypes.
"....reinforcing or creating stereotypes." ha ha ha ha LOL
