After seeing all the images I feel like photojournalist uses images to appeal the emotion, attachment and love of people. In the same way, due to some self-centered motives, they can use this images to deceive the views and create a false impression on people.
The image of President Elect Donald Trump as presented by Andrew Iovanna creates a false impression on people. The facial expression is overexposed. I agree with his idea that even after few seconds’ delay would depict a different emotion. I can point out the biasness of photojournalist in the image using logic.
Similarly, the image shown by Ashley Alvarado about Iranian missile launch do not depict truth. It is a well-known fact about the failure of the fourth missile launch. But Iranian official photoshopped the image to hide their unsuccessfulness. I agree with his idea that few photojournalists also photoshopped their images to garner more attention to their stories.
The image presented by Sam Scarfo about 9/11 attack strikes both emotional and intellectual aspect. This image simply reminds the devastation caused on that day. Whereas, the amount of smoke shows the destruction of property burnt down by those attacks.
