Boston Paper Sorry for Graphic Fan Photo

Associated Press | October 22 2004

BOSTON -- The Boston Herald apologized Friday for publishing two graphic photos of a woman who died after being struck in the face with a pepper-spray-filled projectile fired by police into a crowd of celebrating fans.

The Herald was inundated with complaints, by phone and on its Web site, about the photographs of Victoria Snelgrove, 21, who had been in a crowd celebrating the Red Sox win in the American League championship against the New York Yankees.

The Herald ran a color photo on its front page, and a smaller black-and-white photo inside its Friday editions, showing Snelgrove lying on the ground, bleeding from her nose and left eye.

"The Herald today published two graphic photos that angered and upset many in our community. For that, I apologize," Herald Media Inc. Editorial Director Kenneth A. Chandler said in a statement to be published in the paper's Saturday editions. "Our aim was to demonstrate this terrible tragedy as comprehensively as possible. In retrospect, the images of this unusually ugly incident were too graphic."

The Boston Globe ran a smaller, black-and-white photograph inside its Friday edition. The Associated Press transmitted a color photo showing Snelgrove lying on the sidewalk.
