A realignment of journalistic intent in light of recent events in Orlando:
What one feels is of particular interest regarding the recent atrocity in Orlando was the media's, and in fact the authorities - willingness and eagerness to classify it. At first we saw the initial classification being an 'act of domestic terrorism' - I suggest that the perception was as the result of the 'target' being a LGBTIQ+ venue, and provoked by the existence of right-wing terror groups in the US which are ideologically opposed to the expanding institution of LGBTIQ+ people in the United States.
Our second classification seemed to be in-light of the identity of the perpetrator (the name 'Omar', still yet to be confirmed heralds from Islamic origins). I believe the FBI then updated their perspective from 'looking into [the atrocities] as an act of domestic terrorism', to 'exploring weather outside influences played in role as motive'. The media was quick to explore this new angle provided by the name of the perpetrator.
What ever did spur on the horrendous acts, my real point is that shouldn't the fact that there are so many possibilities of classification as clue to the fact that classification should be irrelevant. Instead of the media trying to collect different fragments of partial information and then presenting them under one signpost 'horrendous act of islamic terrorism' etc. I suggest that it would be beneficial to our nation, if a different path as pursued in the future. I believe the media's role should be to inform, and solely to inform. When you start to amalgamate the populous's need for information, with the perception of a news agency being distributed under the guise of 'information' - you in fact dangerously misinform people and spur people to jump from the solid cliffs of known fact, into the sea of suppositions. The path in future, I believe, is just for media outlets to provide the raw sources - i.e. in the format "we have learned that the identity of the shooter may be "Omar Mateen", as opposed to "there are [unfounded] suggestions of Islamic Terrorism. We recently learned to the true identity of the shooter to be Omar Mateen".
By also just providing the raw information, as opposed to an arrangement of this information to suit editorial objectives; news agencies could help inform the public to become more astute and conscious of the challenges facing our world. It is time for the reevaluation I propose, and I feel such a reevaluation will be beneficial who hindering the progress of demagogues and fear-mongers who live off the suppositions the media implants in us.
