By BABJ28070 The image shows Donald Trump who is the US president at a press conference but the headlines is about Israel Iran live updates the image of Donald Trump evoke emotions of controversy, politics, or strong opinions the use of trump image for Israel Iran article indicate bias or an attempt to draw attention.

Headline:Asantehene’s son to chart future in astronomy at Wesleyan university  By BABJ28070 When I think about news storytelling I realize how crucial images are in shaping our perception of the narrative. An image of Asantehene’s son in his graduation wear from DPS international creates a disconnect with the headline’s message about his future plans in astronomy at Wesleyan university. While the photo captures a moment of pride and achievement it doesn’t convey the excitement and anticipation surrounding his forthcoming academic pursuits in astronomy. A more fitting image would be one that showcases his passion for astronomy such as a photo of him stargazing through a telescope surrounded by astronomy textbook or standing confidently infront of a background this would not only resonate with the headline’s message but also spark the audience’s curiosity and interest inviting them to learn more about his journey in astronomy by using a more relevant and engaging image the story can ...

A WILDLIFE BiOLOGIST SAM DROEGE:A lifetime of Service to the Environment. In a lush field of tall grass and poison ivy, wildlife biologist Sam Droege walked through his typical commute to the government lab he has run for more than 23 years. Sporting worn hiking boots and blue jeans, Droege paused between two cream-colored sheds that house one of the country's largest bee collections. His floral shirt billowed in the breeze as he pointed out different plants, chuckling at the name "Bastard toadflax." The meadow was awash with sunlight and birdsong, butterflies and bees flitted from bud to bud, digging their furry faces into dusty pollen. Droege's dedication to his work is evident in his statement, "I planned to never retire, but now all of that is changing." This change marks the end of an era for Droege, who has spent decades studying and protecting the environment. His work has not only contributed significantly to our understanding of wildlife but has als...

Visual Analysis Of News Image Used In News Headline: Trump weighs negotiations; European ministers to meet for Iran talks

Image
  1. Does the image accurately represent the headline’s message? Yes, this image supports that message. The large crater in the ground, damaged apartment buildings, and presence of military and emergency personnel clearly signal a recent, destructive impact event. What emotions does the image evoke? The presence of armed personnel, investigators, and the visible destruction conveys an immediate crisis or aftermath of a violent event.

CLOGSAG THREATENS STRIKE IN TWO WEEKS OVER DELAYED CONDITIONS OF SERVICE The image does not accurately represent the headline’s message. This is because CLOGSAG, which is Civil and Local Government Staff Association, is posing a strike on the government for a new salary structure and better condition for its members, but the image there is just a picture of CLOGSAG’s logo. However, it tells the audience that CLOGSAG is the main focus which makes the image fit for the headline in a way. It evokes urgency. This is because it makes me feel pressured for the government to attend to their needs. No, it is not biased even though it draws my mind to CLOGSAG because it does not fix my mindset to support CLOGSAG. Composition affects the understanding of a story.
