I don’t understand why people are so worked up about not showing pictures of women (properly dressed). While that idea did not occur to me, personally, I do think it is an excellent policy.
There is no need for your wife or daughter to be on display to the entire world. Kol kevuda bas melech penima; it is a compliment to the ladies that the newspaper values their dignity and doesn’t display their picture to the whole world, not CH”V an insult. If you don’t like that, make your own photo albums with your wife and daughter(s) and enjoy them. They’re yours to show to whomever you want.
But you can’t deny that it is more kadosh vitahor to not show a bas melech in any form in a public forum such as a newspaper. And there is no journalistic value in showing the picture of a woman, either (not that this would override the previous point, but it so happens that this is the case). So why show pictures of women?
The answer is that some are influenced by the degenerate society in which we live and have lost the sensitivity of what a woman is as a bas melech whose kavod is penimah. We just read last week about Sarah Imeinu, “Hinei BaOhel” – that was the ideal. Yes, women need to drive cars, carpools, and also participate elsewhere in modern society by working, running errands, etc (unlike, lihavdil, what our “cousins” do to their women). But there is no need for pictures of women to be shown in a newspaper.
