What Next Research: Current Affairs

I researched the current affairs and the photographs that have been used for each article that i read.
Photographs, especially with current affairs, gives more impact about the report being given. 
A photo is worth a thousand words. A photo can also draw in the attention of the reader or viewer before they even know what the photo or article is even about.

These photos show the car that had been stolen, being towed away. It was tagged on, both inside and outside (as shown in the photos)

Sometimes photographs are screenshots of videos or candid photos, like in this case. This boy is missing and this was most probably the clearest photo of him last seen. 
Although sadly, he was found dead on a beach some days after he went missing.

This photograph looks very professional. It looks 'magazine' worthy. 
Photos used in current affairs don't always have to be quick snap shots, or enlarged screenshots of videos. They can also look professional like this photo above, which definitely did catch my attention. 
Composition of the subject and lighting come into consideration when taking an awesome photograph.
