Answer:
Mass communication is a means for diversified mediatechnologiesto reach a large audience. The technologies may vary, in that some are transmitted electronically, some are through print, through digital media, and some through public speaking.
Photography is one of the new media forms that changes perception and changes the structure of society.It is actually leading the digital revolution in media today, especially with the advent of digital photography.
Images play an important role in mass media. Today’s generation rely on pictures both to understand a message and to send a message across. When we read a newspaper, for example, we look at the pictures first before reading the text, if at all. Some people just look at the pictures and read the headlines and captions, and move on to the next news story. When browsing a magazine, the images for an article leads us to understand what the article is all about.
An image makes or breaks an advertising campaign as well. If the image chosen is bad, the advertisement is doomed.
Which would you prefer: an image without text, or text without a picture? I am almost certain a great number will choose the first option.Sometimes, we don’t really bother with the text anymore, as long as the image was vivid and poignant. If this is the case, should we call on media people to rely on images and leave the text out altogether? It will then be a bigger challenge to the media photographer to create an image that will evoke emotions and provoke thinking so that it can stand alone, free of texts or explanations.
