The Power of Images

“Graphic images should be scarcely used in the media so people can be less aggressive” concluded Dr. Susan Moeller her lecture on the power of images.

Dr. Susan Moeller showed examples of images and gave the audience a chance to analyze them from a critical media literacy perspective. She also included case studies to illustrate the power of images when covering wars, conflict, and human rights during MDLAB 2016.
