I think it's a tricky question. Personally I don't want images of actual murder in my mind's eye.
I don't believe in censorship as a concept, but I do feel that there is such a thing as over-exposure to violence that leads to desensitisation and even glorification of such acts, and diminishes the atrocity of violence in peoples' minds.
New Zealand is still a gentler place than many parts of the developed world, and I am certain that they are correct in not broadcasting video of the actual shooting.
