This photo of a group of Hesperia High School students protesting the controversial House of Representatives bill, HR4437, was taken on Monday, March 27. It was one of about five photos initially submitted to the Daily Press, which ran a page one story along with two photos the next day. This one didn't accompany the Daily Press story or a Hesperia Star news article published the following Tuesday.
Although this was one of the most eye-catching images, I grappled with whether publishing a photo showing a few students apparently flashing gang signs was appropriate. Ultimately, I decided an image of the gestures wasn't germane to the story.
Do you think the photo should have run in either the Daily Press or the Hesperia Star?
