The impact of words and photos in the printed press: 

1. Reading and discussion of the HuffPost article "Refugee crisis media coverage highlights importance of words and how they are used" (READING MATTERS TEXT 1); 

2. Watching a TED talk: "Photos that changed the world".

3. Preparing to discuss three newspaper articles related to Front Page shocking images: (a) "Are newspapers correct to use such shocking images on their front pages?" (TEXT 2); (b) "Photo Editors' Notebook: What makes the image of Omran Daqneesh extraordinary?" (TEXT 3); (c) "Facebook back tracks to allow iconic Vietnam War photo of child napalm victims" (TEXT 4).
