A student pilot successfully landed a plane by herself after her instructor jumped to his death mid-flight.
She said her instructor told her “You know what to do” before leaping from the aircraft.
The article shows a picture of the instructor next to an image of a small single engine cessna.
Comment reads: You could literally land a plane by yourself after your instructor jumps to his death mid-flight and they’d still use a picture of a man.
Two main characters.
One didn’t want their picture shown which is why it isn’t…
Why are you assuming anyone’s picture should be shown? This isn’t a book cover, the guy committed suicide.
Standard journalism etiquette is to humanize stories so the reader can connect more easily.
It’s one of the reasons local news channels interview random people for quotes, or why they pull random twitter posts to include from people for random commentary about something.
Also not sure how you never noticed that almost every story about someone dying in an unusual way includes their photo. That’s basically standard regardless of the situation or genders.
Suicides don’t usually get coverage like this at all.
I’ve noticed the opposite, that suicide often doesn’t include photos of the deceased. That’s in following journalistic guidelines where I live.
So… his picture shouldn’t be shown? How does that follow?
You’re right it’s two pictures taken out of context, it was your text that asserted it’s from an article and this is a comment from it. My mistake entirely.
It’s a funny meme given the absurdity of it.
