"News images often reflect more about subjunctive visions of the world than show what is transpiring on the ground…images can be used to simplify, soften and render contingent the untenable features of the geopolitical realities that they depict….news images reside in a sea of potential leakages, which wedge in and around the words of news coverage, between the actual and aspired dimensions of journalism, and between journalism and the larger mediated environment."
