The risk of the image is the possibility of associating the magazine with terrorism. The editors decided to take this risk because they believed that the terrorist's face should be exposed, as well as his actions.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a terrorist involved in the bombs deployed at the Boston Marathon in 2013.
- Like any terrorist act, the case caused by him received a lot of repercussion from the media, which often did not highlight his face, as the public could interpret it incorrectly.
- However, Rolling Stone decided to feature Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's face on the cover of their edition, placing him as the highlight of that issue.
- This could be viewed incorrectly by the public, who might disapprove of the attention Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was getting and associate the magazine with terrorism.
However, the editors believed that this was a risk that should be taken, as a criminal should be exposed to the maximum. For them, the criminal's face must have more prominence than his actions, as the actions are provoked to attract attention they don't deserve.
