		<description>Ms. Hill- I understand that the body of your article works to clarify that Ms. Argus is not a &quot;sexter&quot; (or would prefer not to be identified as one). I admit that the text does a laudable job of conveying the privacy issue raised by her situation.  I do not believe, however, that the substance of your article benefits from the inclusion of her actual photograph.

When grabbing headlines from your blog, I read &quot;A reputation nightmare: Becoming the &#039;sexting&#039; mascot,&quot; and I see her name and face. The message I take from this two-second scan is that an identifiable Joanna Argus is a sexter. This is exactly the type of public reaction I believe Ms. Argus wishes to prevent. I grant you that a full reading of your article indicates that the smiling Ms. Argus is unlikely to publicize images of her unmentionables. From a privacy standpoint, however, I have trouble understanding the need to photographically identify her. An image of a cellphone with its screen blurred would seem equally effective at grabbing reader attention (what? sex?!), without further publicizing the face of a woman who does not want her face publicized.</description>

		<description>Cheatham-- I certainly see your point, but this article is not accusing her of being a &quot;sexter.&quot; In fact, it&#039;s clarifying that she is not one. This article is about a young woman fighting against a huge media company after being wronged. I think it&#039;s a completely different context.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t understand the need to post Ms. Argus&#039; photo with this story. Her problems originated when she became the &quot;face&quot; of Cincinnati sexting. While your article ostensibly decries the invasion of her privacy by the small market association of her image with sexting, by including her photo, you have now helped to broadcast her image to a more national audience. I regret that now I too associate not only her name, but her face with sexting. It appears Ms. Argus has a completely founded fear that her image might be seen by &quot;millions&quot; of viewers. It&#039;s a shame that this article alone has added more than 6,000 to that growing group.</description>
