Two examples of how media can use two different captions to describe
the same event, and how
portrayal by the media affects public opinion.
Picture 1: A man walking through neck deep water, in New Orleans,
during the recent Hurricane Katrina aftermath
Caption: A man in New Orleans walking through the water after STEALING
food from a grocery store
Picture 2: Two people walking through water(same situation)
Caption: People in New Orleans walking through the water after FINDING
some food to eat from a grocery store
Portrayal of events by the media affects public opinion.
Should the media have freedom of expression?
