Mrs. Newton has done an excellent job of giving several perspectives relating to the field of visual truth or photojournalism. Its excellent for the beginner researcher or someone who needs indepth information on how this media has effected us. I personally would recomend this book to any student of media or professors looking for a book that will be great for a classroom setting.
