To connect back to one of our first lectures in this module, the one regarding pictures and layouts for financial articles, I have during these recent weeks collected some interesting ones from different newspapers. It is interesting to see the always upcoming theme: disaster, depression and the color red.

Swedish newspapers mostly use pictures that are descriptive trough objects, not humans. In international newspapers the focus in on the individual. I believe the reason for this is because Sweden does not familiar themselves as a country with the crisis yet. They are affected by it, but I don’t think they consider themselves to actual be in it. The American Newspapers are the most dramatic ones, and nationalistic ones with the American flag in almost every picture.

  1. I totally agree. If you look at the French newspapers, even just the front covers, they all use tragic images of individuals, people screaming, faces of a person to blame, or the super busy president Sarkozy. It looks like they really want people to realise what is currently happening. As if we needed pictures!
