News stories on TV and in newspapers are very often accompanied by pictures. Some people say that these pictures are more effective than words. What is your opinion about this?
Nowadays, there are so many different ways of posting or presenting news on television and in newspapers. Most journalists use a
picture
which may show the exact meaning of a topic. Critics say that is
a more common and effective way than a page of writing, but others say that pictures
are not actually needed on the posts. Personally, I do not agree with this
idea, and in this
essay, I will support my opinion with examples.
First of all, people
pay attention to the pictures
when they look at the pages of a newspaper
or magazine because the first five seconds are when most people
make a decision on the topics to read or not. In addition
, the research team which is from the New York Times newspaper
and Oxford University, posts the same story in the newspaper
with the picture
, and without the picture
in different weeks. Then
they used a public survey in order to know how many people
read the topic. The result was stunning because almost ten times more people
read the story when they use the picture
according to
the Oxford Research team in 2011.
On the other hand
, if people
really need to know about subjects, the pictures
actually do not need to be posted on TV and in the newspaper
. For example
, there is a constant audience for 7 News channels to watch a program which is today in Sydney. There is no increase or decrease in the audience depending on any reason such
as pictures
.
In conclusion, TV and newspapers have their own ways of presenting or posting stories. However
, the pictures
must be used in the stories, and present the main idea of the topic.Submitted by enkhbat0923 on
