How much should we show?
How strong can we ques0on the work of the police and rescue workers?

Observa0ons • VG was the most cited medium a^er July 22nd, but also the most controversial = Buzz

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE -‐ Did we communicate our editorial choices well enough? -‐ Technically, we were not ready for an a<ack
