"While reporting news with regard to terrorist attacks or communal
riots, the media should not publish pictures of mangled corpses or any
other pictures which can create terror, or revulsion or ignite communal
passion among people," the Press Council's new guideline said. The
Council appealed to the media to follow this guideline in "national
interest" while discharging its duties.
