Should there be limits on the amount of detail broadcast about high profile killings? A listener responds to coverage of the Woolwich killing, and from the USA a listener reacts to a recent edition of Assignment about guns and mental health in America. In this programme we hear about the challenges posed by Woolwich with Andrew Whitehead , the World Service鈥檚 World News Editor, who also discusses the suggestion from our American contributor that broadcasters should limit the amount of information that is broadcast about those responsible for high profile killings.
