Although photos of the Zapruder film were published in Life Magazine after the assasination (I think Life bought the film from Zapruder), the actual moving film wasn't shown publicly until 1972 or 1973 when it was acquired and aired by the young host of a new TV "current events & culture" show (ABC?) named Geraldo Rivera, right on national TV. Created quite a stir at the time.

The Zapruder film is shown without protest these days. That is my point, the culture we live in now. The same media culture that refuses to show this video to the public.
The media cop out is to say (A) out of respect for the family AND (B) you can get it yourself off the internet. If they are going to tell people to get it off the internet then they aren't respecting the family.

(NO BLOOD FOR RATINGS. CNN ignored torture & murder in Saddam's Iraq to keep their Baghdad Bureau.)
