Calling on the media to engage in responsible and voluntary journalistic practices to deny mass public murderers the attention they desire and minimize any possible "media contagion effect" of irresponsible and sensationalistic reporting practices.

HCONRES 58 is a non-binding resolution calling on media outlets to voluntarily change coverage practices after mass public shootings. It urges media to minimize attention given to perpetrators by avoiding their names, photos, and sensationalized details in headlines and top-level coverage, while prioritizing stories about victims, heroes, and first responders. The resolution cites research suggesting media coverage may contribute to "media contagion" that encourages copycat attacks, though it does not mandate these changes. It specifically requests media avoid publishing perpetrator photos or social media posts unless needed for suspect capture. The resolution focuses on voluntary journalistic adjustments, not legal requirements or policy changes.
