The New York Times coverage of the recent Nairobi hotel terror attack sparked a debate over the use of graphic pictures of the dead. Victims were shown slumped at tables where they'd been killed. It's not the first time the media has been criticised for its choice of photos and video and critics say it's often black victims rather than white who feature. Is this true? And are there enough regulations around what is posted on social media?

Joining us on Skype in Seattle is Chanju Mwanza, freelance journalist; in Pennsylvania is Jessica Fishman, author of ‘death makes the news’; joining us in the studio is Paddy Dowling, humanitarian photojournalist and Barry Turner, senior lecturer in Journalism at Lincoln University.
