Description

News pictures have long promised to make the world immediate and knowable. Yet, while many writers and thinkers have evaluated photographs of atrocity and crisis, few have sought to set these images in a broader context by defining the history of news pictures.

This book presents new thinking on the topic, considering the news picture over time from the illustrated press of the nineteenth century to today's digital platforms. It examines various image types and mediums, including photography, painting, film, and video, as well as how images are selected, distributed, and critiqued.

Packed with research and full-colour illustrations, this book will appeal to those interested in understanding how news and history shape our visual culture.
