I agree with Berger that editors of newspapers and magazines choose photos based on their perception to attract white readers. In the 20th century, most white editors would choose photos with black Americans as victims in order to promote the interests of black Americans and not threaten whites. It can be seen that the editors hope to stimulate the emotions of white people and try their best to resolve the long-standing racial problem. In addition, it can be seen that the race issue is still very serious about George Floyd. There are too many black Americans who speak out for racial equality in the media pictures. The world is working hard for the issue of racial equality. The choice of pictures is very important to convey information. If you choose not carefully, it may intensify conflicts. Even though the white editor’s selection seems to weaken black Americans, it helped the racial movement.
