Media is controlled by one, they will call it whatever they want to call it, so that you, the viewer, will feel a certain way towards it.
For example - and I will make this very short.
Massacre - must not be repeated. How can it be stopped in future? *Edit* just to make things a bit clearer, in the case of the cinema shootings the other night, the logical explanation would be to have increased gun control - but remember, it's only an example *Edit*
Assassination - Unfortunate event. Couldn't of been stopped. Don't try.
Murder - Individual act. 'Easy' to stop in future by increasing 'surveillance'.
I don't know why so many famous assassins are known by 3 names. But remember, these 'people' are all puppets.

You seem like the type of person that will ask questions and not be spoon fed, which is good. If only the other 99% of the population decided to use their own minds for a change...
Murder can refer to one or two persons.
Assassination is usually on one particular public figure.
Massacre is a mass acre of people being shot if you break down the word, it means a massive acre of people being shot.
Seminar, Convention, Summit
If the person who killed them was payed then assassination, if not then most likely massacre. I don't know execly what you mean by name but if you mean aksle(no idea how to spell that) then so there ideanaty(again bad at spelling) a secret
If your name is John Fitzgerald Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln or John Lennon, you were assassinated. But if you're just an average guy (or gal) and your killer makes plans and chooses you specifically and does everything that Lee Harvey Oswald/John Wilkes Booth/Mark David Chapman did, you were still murdered. But where do you draw the line? Who chooses if you're famous enough to be "assassinated"? Also, everybody's been saying "massacre" when talking about the Batman theater shootings. But how many people does it take to have a "massacre" instead of just "murder"?
Basically, my question can be summed up like this: If a small group of semi-famous people were killed, what would you call it?
And I just thought of another question while typing that. Why are so many famous assassins known by 3 names?
