When we watch the news we are looking for what is going on in the world today. Do you want the sugar coated version of the news so that no real extremes are shown on a newscast or would you like the full story so you can see the actual truth of what is going on in the situations shown on the news? people say that a picture is word a thousand words. Using Haiti as an example, say "an earthquake has happened in Haiti", well earthquakes happen on the regular in places like California so that could be brushed off as not a real issue. Showing graphic picture of the aftermath of the earthquakes can show the magnitude of the affect it had on its people. These images are the ones that provoked Americans and people of the world to take action and try and help the suffering people of this third world country. Some might say that the pictures are too much and inappropriate for viewers, which is completely respectable. But, I would say that they are necessary to really get the whole point across and show the world what "really" happened. Using Haiti as a reference, I feel it shows that people need to really see the truth in order to fully comprehend the situation at hand.
