Torture Dilemma
Important news deserves to be reported correctly, and whether or not writers want to appeal to a larger audience, they should always keep in mind that factual information is their first priority. Writers should not play ring-around-the-rosy for those who would rather read a story with less intense diction, but they should use the correct vocabulary to enhance the story's purpose. "Torture" is not the only word we have to worry about. What about terms like "war" and "peace"? Both are strong words that are written nonchalantly, but both represent deep world issues. "Torture" is definitely read with more caution, but the world deserves to know the facts, not degraded versions of them.
