- Title
Revealing the Visual Logics of Sensational News.
- Authors
Finnegan, Cara A.
- Abstract
But Frisken goes beyond that to consider images designed to counter visual stereotypes. While such counternarratives could not by themselves change cultural stereotypes or stop political oppression and violence, Frisken argues that they illustrate how sensational imagery could mobilize activists. In her chapter on sensational images of crime, for instance, Frisken explains how I The National Police Gazette i and other "sporting" newspapers adapted visually to the challenges posed by the Comstock anti-obscenity laws.
