Nowadays, every person likes to be acquainted with the news and these news clippings are often shown with some striking images. Some thinkers believe that the pictures presented along with the news items are more effective than words, to which I have dissenting views. On one hand, there are many advantages of photographs that are accompanied
with
Suggestion
by
the news. The foremost being, these pictures offer an overview
for
Suggestion
of
the particular news report for the readers and the listeners.
For instance

, if the viewer has
lack

a lack
of time or one is illiterate
then
Linking Words
one can comprehend the news through the photographs which are published along with it.
Moreover
Linking Words
, these photos even present clarity to the broadcasted news. To illustrate, about 80 percent of the news bulletin is shown with some detailed pictures of the event so as to attract a higher
viewership
Suggestion
.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, photographs are of the lesser value unless they are accompanied by some words as words present in depth details of the news report.
In addition

to
this
Linking Words
, the larger view and emotions about a particular happening, may it be positive or unpleasant, are conveyed more effectively through words.
For example
Linking Words
, the sentiments of the victims of natural disasters
such

as earthquakes can be depicted more impressively through words than photographs. Apart from
this
Linking Words
, sometimes words become even necessary to explain the facts and figures which are depicted in the photographs accompanied with news clippings. To conclude, albeit pictures are necessary to convey the new to

the public
,
however

, in my opinion, words create a greater impact on the mind of the readers.
Thus
Linking Words
, words are more effective.
