A Visual Comm take on the news

BAGnewsNotes ("Where The Analysis Of News Photos Is A New Art") is an interesting site I came across that studies news developments through its visual communication elements. It's slightly tongue-in-cheek but also pretty smart. Recent visual analyses have been done of Karl Rove on the cover of Time and Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts. Here's what the site had to say about yesterday's page 1 story on the New York Times:

Here we are on Day 1 of the White House's combined "Hello Mr. Roberts/Forget About Karl" campaign, and what does the paper do? They use their headline to directly quote (and thus propagate) the key memes (these used to be called "metaphors") Karl wishes to embed to underpin the nomination process and cripple any opposition. (Quotation marks in blue.)

Very interesting. Will be added to my bookmarks list.
