It's outrageous but not entirely surprising since there doesn't seem to be any such thing as journalistic standards anymore.

It makes me ill as the criteria they must have had in place to publish it was so meaningless...

...would the decision makers to publish this like it if their families photos were published when they were dying...would their requests for privacy be violated?

I will stop...I am heated...

AP's decision is shameful, but not surprising.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

An organization which merely wants to sell stories; what about compassion for the deceased family ?
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt
