It seems counterintuitive that the image of Fabienne Cherisma, a young girl, deceased on the ground, can be seen as anything other than horrifically graphic and cruel. In the center of chaos, where they could have potentially offered any sort of help, photographers swarmed the fresh corpse in hopes of getting the perfect photo. An image that pays acknowledgment to the dangerous events taking place in Haiti, but at what cost?
The death of a young girl is a catalyst for public outrage, as the debate between ethics versus necessity comes up. In the widespread sharing of this image, it is effectively raising awareness, but at what cost? Perhaps the goal of the photographers was met: to showcase the horrors occurring in Haiti. Despite the raised awareness, was it worth the exploitation of a corpse, who couldn’t give permission to her photo being used? As the ethics debate rages, there is only one true answer; no amount of awareness is worth someone’s life- if they could stand there and photograph her, they could have helped her.

The passion is palpable here, LoverOfCatsAndMatcha. Congratulations on that. Outrage communicated.
Now, to your other responsibilities as a Purposeful Summarizer. 🙂
You need to provide your readers—who have NO IDEA what you’re talking about!—the background information to give your outrage context.
You’re not supposed to mention the original article by title or author by name, but your readers DO need to know that an earthquake occurred, and that Fabienne was shot by police or by a stray bullet and did not die in the earthquake but in the mayhem that followed. From your summary, we might assume the “horrors occurring in Haiti” were a race riot, a civil war, a zombie invasion.
More summary. More context about the natural disaster and the dissemination of those award-winning photographs. But don’t cut back on the outrage. You nailed that part.
