"If it bleeds, it leads" is a motto that captures the long-standing relationship between violence and news coverage. However, the news is not just a mirror that reflects reality - the information we see is controlled, it has a purpose, it has to frame the events of the world.

Particular attention was given to the visual language used to depict violence in the age of "homo videns", a term coined by media theorist Giovanni Sartori (1997) to describe modern people who are heavily dependent on images for information.
