I sincerely believe that the frequency of these attacks would decrease if the news coverage were limited to "this bad thing happened" without referencing the name of the accused followed by a small blurb when that person is convicted and another when they're executed.

These vermin see the negative publicity as praise, and they feed off of it. Many of the articles on Adam Lanza mentioned his frequenting online forums in which mass shooters were glorified and media reports of their atrocities were held up as a form of praise.
