the pictures

make stories fascinating, and comprehending. Opponents of the above view may argue that pictorial

sometime

ago, I read a story with the headline “Corruption in Nigeria” in one of the dailies in my country and

this

news has images of politicians hiding away stacks of money, attached to it. When I saw the image, the thought that came to mind is that politicians are the ones worsening the problem of

corruption, we

have in the country, but when I read the news, the writer was talking about how corruption is happening in all spheres of life.

However

, there are a number of reasons why having images as part of the

of news makes it more effective.

Firstly

the pictures

make the news stories easier to read, and to understand. Most people have a busy lifestyle that they only have

a little moment

to spare in order to keep abreast of the happenings around them. With pictures portraying some part of the news, they can quickly decipher what the story is about.

In addition

to the youngsters. Research has shown that the number of teenagers who read has declined over the years, and the reason cited was that youngsters find pictorial

more appealing than just words. In conclusion, it is clear to me that

although

news with pictorial

content

could sometimes not convey the intended meaning, the benefits of easy comprehension and fascination it offers cannot be outweighed.
