Some people think visual images (like photographs and videos) can tell information more accurately in a news story, while others think they cannot represent the full story. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

There is a conflicting view on whether visualized content can give the audience a full picture regarding the description of a story or not. From my perspective,

For instance
, readers may not grasp what exactly happens in an event,
such
as a national conflict or flood, to name but a few, but they will have a better understanding of it if visual content is provided.
As a result
, multimedia information on news plays a key role in delivering messages nowadays.
On the other hand
, visual information is only a part of the story per se, which can not cover all of it. As a matter of fact, a picture or a clip of a video mainly comes from the angle of creators,
thus
easily resulting in bias, incomplete recordings and even fraudulence.
For example
, people would be misled by fake pictures on news coverage that spares no effort to grab the public attention sometimes. To know the facts, we need not only to check visualized contents but

although
we have heard the cliche, “a picture tells a thousand words”, the real value in using images and videos is to improve the authenticity and the readability of a story
instead
of representing the whole truth of it.
