NewsHero Editorial
"I wrote the script for this cartoon in response to the naming of mass shooters by news outlets in August of 2019, and published the following on Medium. "These gunmen want headlines. They want powerful people to talk about them. They want to be remembered where they would otherwise be forgotten. They see themselves as a nobody and they want to be somebody. By putting a spotlight on the number of dead and wounded, and by putting their names in bold print on front pages, they are made heroes to those who will follow them. These killers are not heroes. Do not share their victories. Do not help create more like them. Benji — Co-founder of NewsHero."
