More and more newspapers and news channels are using photographs to support their news articles and stories. Some people think that photographs are not a reliable source of news while others consider photographs to be irrefutable. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

The increasing number of printed media and
news
channels prefer to use related
pictures
as a supporter of their
news
articles
and stories. Some would argue that using
pictures
is an unreliable source of
news
while
others think
pictures
are undeniable.
Although
using photographs to support their
news
might be an unreliable source I believe using
pictures
next to
articles
can be interesting to read. On the one hand, sometimes
companies
are putting related images with
articles
to make their newspapers more interesting even if they are not real. Someone who is reading daily newspapers on the internet or printed media can be influenced by those
pictures
. If corporations can fake their readers with images, they can sell more of their products and make more profits.
For example
, in Turkey, most
companies
are using well-known actors' photographs in their adverts to make more reliable their products.
However
, I believe we cannot deny the importance of
pictures
even if they might be far away from reality.
On the other hand
, we cannot ignore the importance of images for newspapers
as well as
people
who are reading them.
This
is to say, when we are reading some text either on the internet or on paper can be boring. If
companies
are including
pictures
even if they are not reliable, it can be beneficial for providers and
people
will be eager to read.
For instance
, newspaper corporations are putting interesting
pictures
which are related to an article on a title to make
people
click that link. I believe
this
school of thought is preferable because
people
will not get bored
while
they are reading something and,
consequently
, it will be advantageous for providers.
To conclude
,
although
many individuals considered that putting photos in their
news
channels and,
also
on written media can be unreliable,
pictures
will make
articles
more interesting
hence
,
people
will want to read more. Eventually, most of the
companies
are going to have benefited financially.
