Pictures are

Suggestion

an effective way

of communication and some people claim that pictures are more effective than words in revealing the news. From my perspective, I disagree with

this

Linking Words

statement for two reasons,

firstly

Linking Words

the story is not complete without detailed explanation that includes words and written analysis and

secondly

Linking Words

pictures are not always appropriate to describe all situations

such

Linking Words

as terrifying crimes and human crisis. Using pictures to tell the news can serve as a support element, but it must be followed by the details for a comprehensive delivery of the news.

That is

Linking Words

to say, a photo of a handshake between two leaders cannot reveal the details of the story. Whether they were able to resolve the

economic

and political tension between their countries, must be explained in words and for sure an article by experts in foreign policies and economics would be more effective than any photos. The

second

Linking Words

justification is that some news cannot be accompanied by photos because they are inappropriate to broadcast.

For example

Linking Words

, a terrible crime that involved the murder of an innocent person should not be described by photos.

That is

Linking Words

why several social media platforms have a no harm policy in

this

regard and prohibit broadcasting inappropriate photos and videos. In

this

particular situation, only words that can describe what has happened. To conclude,

accompanying news

Suggestion

the accompanying news

with pictures provide more credibility to the reported story, but is not more effective than words.

In addition

only words

Suggestion

the only words

that can report the news.
