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. The way a story is framed and structured influences how the audience picture the story in mind.


It reinforces the headline.


Yes.


They all used the logo of CLOGSAG but this one’s logo was different from the rest.


No, it is general but has more to do with politics than with culture.
