Questions: What advantage do images have over printed text in journalistic reporting? A. They provide extensive background information. B. They allow for time to research and fact-check information. C. They are interactive and allow for audience contribution. D. They are memorable and often appeal to the emotions.

The answer is D. They are memorable and often appeal to the emotions.

Images typically do not provide extensive background information. While they can offer context and visual evidence, they do not convey detailed information or analysis as text does.

This option is more relevant to the process of creating journalistic content rather than the advantage of images themselves. Images do not inherently allow for time to research and fact-check; this is a function of journalistic practice.

Images themselves are not inherently interactive. While modern digital platforms can make images part of an interactive experience, the images alone do not provide this feature.

Images have a strong impact on viewers because they can quickly convey emotions and make a lasting impression. This emotional appeal and memorability are significant advantages of using images in journalistic reporting.
