Translated from the French.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

'The Making of Visual News' sets out to show how photography has changed the way we read, report and sell the news. It investigates how photographs first became news images at the end of the 19th century and how magazines in the USA, the UK, France and Germany have put them to use ever since. Drawing on a wide selection of images, author Thierry Gervais (in collaboration with Gaëlle Morel) analyses news photographs in the context of their original presentation in print.
