Before the advent of photography, newspapers were using illustrations to explain the news events. According to famous art historian Gombrich (1996), "We are living in a visual age. We are bombarded by pictures from morning to night. Opening our newspaper at breakfast we see photographs of men and women in the news, and raising our eyes from the paper, we encounter the picture on the cereal package". During the political news coverage, photographs play an important role to show the reality of political circles.
