A prominent community leader dies suddenly of a heart attack, leaving his immediate family and many friends and associates in shock. A newspaper photographer is assigned to cover the large funeral attended by many community leaders. The photographer returns with a selection of pictures, including one taken near the graveside of the grief-stricken widow being embraced by her daughter.

Do you:

A.  Publish the graveside photo because it is the most compelling of those taken and reflects the sense of loss shared by the community.

B.  Choose another more routine shot showing pall-bearers carrying the casket.
