About to Die: How News Images Move the Public
Zelizer, Barbie (Raymond Williams Chair of Communication and the Director of the Scholars Program in Culture and Communication, Raymond Williams Chair of Communication and the Director of the Scholars Program in Culture and Communication, Annenberg School
Images of people about to die surface repeatedly in the news, particularly around the difficult and unsettled events of war, political revolution, terrorism, natural disaster, and other crises. Their appearance raises questions: What equips an image to deliver the news; how much does the public need to know to make sense of what they see; and what do these images contribute to historical memory? About To Die addresses these questions by using images ofimminent death as a litmus test for considering news imagery and visual meaning more broadly.
