4月17日付、「Asian American Journalists Association 」。
「犯人とされる学生、Seung-Hui Cho (名前の発音は"sung hee")は、韓国からの移民であったということが、メディアの報道の中で非常に強調されているが、その点に焦点を当てず、なぜこのような悲劇的なことを行ったのかという背景に焦点を当てるべきだ」

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SAN FRANCISCO (April 17, 2007) -- Now that the identity of the suspected shooter at Virginia Tech is known, AAJA cautions the use of his heritage or immigrant status in news coverage.
We understand the need to research the background of Seung-Hui Cho (first name is pronounced "sung hee") and to provide details about him as a nation struggles to make sense of the horrific incident.
But we are disturbed by some media outlets' prominent mention that the suspect is an immigrant from South Korea when such a revelation provides no insight or relevance to the story. The fact he is not a U.S. citizen and was here on the basis of a green card, while interesting, should not be a primary focus in the profiling of him. To highlight that suggests his immigration status played a role in the shootings; there's been no such evidence.
We remind the media that the use of racial and other identifiers must be accompanied with context and relevance. Without it, we open the door to subjecting an entire people to unfair treatment or portrayal based on their skin color or national heritage.
