In today's media environment, images are often seen as direct evidence of reality. But cameras do not simply record events – they can also frame them in ways that shape perception, assign meaning and steer audiences toward prepackaged conclusions. In this episode of Facts Tell, we take a closer look at how visual narratives are constructed in reporting on the South China Sea. From selectively circulated footage to broader efforts to amplify dramatic and one-sided imagery, we examine how visuals can be used to simplify complex events and influence public understanding before the full context is available. Watch the full episode, share your thoughts in the comments and subscribe for more in-depth breakdowns of how information is shaped in global media discourse.
