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 the present age, people always get information from TV or newspapers. But in the meantime, whether the news stories should be accompanied by pictures has sparked much debate. Some people hold the view that those pictures are more effective than words. However, toward the same issue, others assert that the pictures will distract people from reading the actual useful information. As far as I am concerned, I completely agree with the former point of view. Among countless factors which influence my decision, there are 2 conspicuous aspects.
One of the most evident reasons is that those pictures can help readers to understand the news more clearly, especially for the low-educated group or people who have reading obstacles. In fact, a recent study let 20 people who only have high school diploma to read a professional article, only 40% of them understand it when there is no picture while the number increased to 70% when there are pictures attached.
Another factor that should be taken into consideration is that pictures is more effective than words, especially there are lots of details needed to be addressed. For instance, when there is a missing kid or a missing suspect, the reporter wants the reader to quickly know the appearance of the target, there is nothing but pictures can do that.
On this issue, some others hold a different attitude, arguing that the pictures distract people when they are reading. However, plenty of evidence has shown that the pictures will attract audience to read the news. 80% respondents admit that they believe news with pictures are more attractive than word-only stories, and they are more willing to read the news when they think the pictures are interesting.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that it is a good way to let audiences read the news stories by adding pictures because it not only make up the educational gap, but also transmit the information more effectively.
