From the Ted Talk by Jonathan Klein: Photos that changed the world
Unscramble the Blue Letters
So when we are cnrnoefotd by a powerful image, we all have a choice: We can look away, or we can address the igame. Thankfully, when these photos appeared in The Guardian in 1998, they put a lot of focus and aoetitntn and, in the end, a lot of money towards the Sudan famine relief efforts. Did the images change the world? No, but they had a major impact. Images often push us to question our core beliefs and our rlibsenoisieipts to each other. We all saw those iagems after Katrina, and I think for millions of people they had a very strong impact. And I think it's very unlikely that they were far from the minds of animaercs when they went to vote in November 2008.
