I can't help to think that the overall message is "these young people protesting don't make a difference".

Who's the target audience? What would you think?

Some examples of CNN reporting for the anon whose ask I accidentally deleted. It can sometimes be hard to recognize bias, so it's important to practice and build the skills you need.

Israeli prime minister's office says this, and no mention of evidence. Hamas says that, and they emphasize a lack of evidence.

That wasn't what ended the pause in November. They only planned for it to last a few days. Israel never intended for that to be a lasting ceasefire. The wording here implies that it was meant to be longer and things broke down because of Hamas.

This one is a little more obvious. They're trying to worm into your mind that "these people are liars and sneaky" and make it clear that THIS is the main problem, not the ongoing genocide.

Hope this helps!

So... regular readers of CNN's website may have experienced cutoffs after a few articles unless you register your email address and allow them to collect even more information about you.

You can avoid this by deleting all your browsing history and website data relating to CNN, using Ctrl+P to read the print preview, or... I dunno, using a different news network that isn't contributing to the paywalling of journalism in this country.

CNN distorts the truth. Palestinians use fireworks and rocks to hurt civilians who are innocent and Jewish all the time. They also fire them at police. They are deadly weapons used to hurt and kill. These are not innocent fireworks.

Rediscovering Senegal's Photographic Heritage

A captivating narrative of Senegal's rich photographic legacy emerges from the pages of a new book authored by Guilia Paoletti, an assistant professor at the University of Virginia's Department of Art. In a revelatory exploration, Paoletti delves into the vibrant tapestry of Senegalese photography, unearthing a treasure trove of previously unseen images that illuminate the country's historic modernity and cultural richness.

At the heart of Paoletti's narrative lies a visual journey spanning centuries, capturing the essence of Senegal's socio-cultural evolution through the lens of pioneering photographers. From the earliest surviving daguerreotypes dating back to the 1800s to the dawn of modern studio photography, the book offers a window into a bygone era characterized by elegance, sophistication, and artistic expression.

Speaking with CNN, Paoletti challenges conventional narratives surrounding the history of photography, debunking the notion of it being solely a Western invention. Instead, she highlights Senegal's pivotal role in shaping the medium's trajectory, with indigenous photographers asserting agency and creativity in capturing the essence of their society.

Central to Paoletti's narrative are the remarkable stories of Senegalese women, such as the signare – a class of Black or mixed-race women who wielded significant influence and commissioned portraits as a means of self-expression. Through their patronage, these women defied traditional gender norms and asserted their social status, leaving an indelible mark on Senegal's photographic heritage.

However, alongside tales of empowerment and agency, Paoletti also uncovers instances of colonial prejudice and erasure. The encounter between Belgian explorer Adolphe Burdo and the "King of Dakar" serves as a poignant reminder of the clash between modernity and colonial hegemony, with European perceptions often overshadowing African agency.

Despite the challenges of colonialism and cultural hegemony, Senegal's photographic tradition endures as a testament to resilience and creativity. From the decorative collages known as "xoymets" that adorned wedding ceremonies to the proliferation of studio photography in the 20th century, Paoletti paints a vivid portrait of a society deeply intertwined with the art of image-making.

As Senegal's photographic legacy finds renewed recognition and appreciation, Paoletti's book serves as a beacon of cultural revival, offering a fresh perspective on the country's rich heritage. With each image and anecdote, it invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, celebrating the ingenuity and creativity of Senegal's past and present photographers.

In shedding light on Senegal's photographic heritage, Paoletti's work transcends the confines of academia, offering a poignant reflection on the power of imagery to shape narratives and reclaim lost histories. Through her meticulous research and storytelling prowess, she invites us to reimagine Senegal's past and embrace its photographic legacy as a source of inspiration and cultural pride.
