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?

In today's world, Television and newspapers are publishing more images to cover news stories. Many people believe including pictures are better as it shows information more than words, while others disagree. I agree with the former notion.

Firstly, Most of the people get the gist of the story through pictures, as they do not have time to read it. The reason is simple, they are working and occupied with a lot of activities in daily routine, As a result, they prefer to just read the headline and see pictures. For instance, most of them go through the newspaper while commuting to office and scroll all the news by just having a look on images with their headings. Thus having a picture is more beneficial for them due to lack of time.

Moreover, as it is well-known fact, a picture speaks more than a word, having a photo of a criminal on TV helps people to make themselves aware of the face and can inform the police if seen nearby, For example, one of the most wanted criminals was convicted by police when a lady called 911 seeing him near her house. In Addition, it is true that we can feel more by watching rather than just reading, Like, seeing women saving a dog image has more impact than written about it. Hence, picture effects human more than words.

To conclude, having images in TV and newspaper for new stories is more influential than just publishing long text about it.
