Photographs have become an integral part of news stories. Some people believe that the pictorial presentation of news is more effective than textual pesentation. I completely agree with the statement and in this essay, I will support my view with valid arguments and examples. There is no doubt that pictures attract the attention of the audience. They also give a basic understanding of the news story and thus make it easy for the reader to figure out which stories are worth their attention. In this age of information explosion, we are bombarded with news stories. We receive updates every second and it is impossible to read or watch all of the stories that we come across. Pictures make it easy to filter out stories we are not interested in. What’s more, according to a survey conducted by the media association, 70% of readers are more likely to read a news story accompanied by an image. To illustrate, I am a great fan of Amitabh Bachchan. Whenever I see him on screen or in a newspaper, I become more curious to read or watch the whole news story. It is his photo that grabs my attention. Furthermore, by adding more pictures to news articles, news editors can attract the attention of children as well. For example, there is a particular section in Sunday’s newspaper which highlights children specific topics and contains more graphics than text material. That colorful page attracts my son the most and, as a result, he goes through that entire section without fail. Thus it is evident that if there is no picture the media may lose the attention of a particular group of audience. To sum up, I believe that including pictures in news can play a pivotal role in gaining / attracting reader’s attention to a particular topic. Pictures can also tell a story more vividly and make comprehension easier.
