Breast Cancer Journalism

Things that are required in any article about breast cancer:
(1) Information on mammograms
(2) Information on how many women get it (data for men is unnecessary)
(3) Links to suggestions on lowering your risk
and, most importantly, (4) picture of a young, white, thin but busty woman, topless and/or naked, either turned away from the camera or demurely covering her breasts with her hands or arms.

Seriously, this is getting old. Today's example is annoying because it's basically about a scientific study, but I've seen the same sort of photo on a study in Nature of all places.

Why don't other cancers get this? Throat cancer reports don't have pictures of necks. Colorectal cancer reports don't have pictures of colons. Testicular cancer reports certainly don't have pictures of testicles.

Of course I know why: because it's an excuse to print a photo of a beautiful topless woman. And it's okay, because it's all in the name of saving women's breasts women, so that means it couldn't possibly be exploitative or objectifying.
