"This is about managing images [3] and not public taste or human dignity," said the director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, after the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency [4] (FEMA) refused to include reporters and photographers on post-Hurricane Katrina [5] rescue missions and asked that "no photographs [6] of the deceased be made by the media." FEMA officials said their policy was due to limited space on rescue boats and a desire to treat hurricane victims with "the utmost respect." Some media organizations likened FEMA's move to "the Bush administration [7]'s ban on images [8] of flag-draped U.S. military coffins [9] returning from the Iraq war [10]."
