Conclusion

• human sympathy to the tragic events themselves
  may be combined with analytical approach to art
  this broadens our understanding of contemporary
  ethics of journalism
• difference between American and Russian media
  response to art objects, partially explaining
  difference between art on similar topics in both
  countries
