The New York Times’ front-page photo on Monday of the grisly aftermath of a Russian attack on civilians in Ukraine shows how journalists try to weigh the sensibilities of customers with the need to illustrate the reality of war.

The picture, taken by photographer Lynsey Addario, shows Ukrainian soldiers tending to the bloodied bodies of four people moments after a mortar exploded near them.
