Last but not least: Simply the perfect picture
Online journalists are under time pressure and they often search for their image material in a matter of seconds via image databases on the Internet. We present three ways to find the right image quickly.
1. The supreme discipline is called "From the abstract to the concrete"Illustration is particularly difficult when the topics are abstract. The following three subjects from the Münstersche Zeitung stand for "the indissolubility of marriage, sexual morality and the rejection of homosexuals". How would you illustrate something like that? Exactly. The challenge was mastered brilliantly in the third picture in particular: it shows a gay man and a woman who hates gays at the same time.
2. Another option is to use a Picture of a similar object as in the following article about the extravagance of a Catholic bishop. Among other things, he bought an overpriced conference table for 25,000 euros, but the picture "shows a table in the Federal Chancellery" because there are no pictures of the bishop's house, according to the legend. However, the visualization arouses the reader's interest, because at first glance one thinks that the church sponsors the Federal Chancellery (or something else that is done at conference tables).
3. If you don't have any time at all, you can also publish the text unread and look for it in the image search arbitrarily to a few keywords from the lead hold. (sis)
