A single themed show on this episode of Beat The Press: The Media and the mass shooting dilemma. Does the press contribute to mass shooting contagion? How much should be reported about the gunmen themselves? What would happen if the photos from gruesome mass shootings were made public? When is too soon to bring up the politics of guns? These questions as well as the panels rants and raves of the week.

Joining Emily Rooney are Lylah Alphonse of The Boston Globe, Joanna Weiss of Experience Magazine, and Dan Kennedy of Northeastern University.
