As part of having a critical eye, it is important to look at how the media portrays certain events or headlines. Looking at a Boston Globe physical newspaper and how they arrange certain headlines as well as the pictures used is important to recognize in order to remove bias and prejudice. I was looking online and saw an article entitled, "A Rising Hunger Among Children". I was struck by the photo used in the article and I am interested in your opinions... one should consider the types of readers and how they would react to it. What ideas can be conjured up by the image? Can this be considered racism? Does the Globe consider this? Lets be critical!
