"You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." This famous
but apocryphal quote, long attributed to newspaper magnate William
Randolph Hearst, encapsulates fears of the lengths to which news
companies would go to exploit visual journalism in the late
nineteenth century. From 1870 to 1900, newspapers disrupted
conventional reporting methods with sensationalized line drawings.
A fierce hunger for profits motivated the shift to emotion-driven,
visual content. But the new approach, while popular, often
targeted, and further marginalized, vulnerable groups. Amanda
Frisken examines the ways sensational images of pivotal cultural
events-obscenity litigation, anti-Chinese bloodshed, the Ghost
Dance, lynching, and domestic violence-changed the public's
consumption of the news. Using intersectional analysis, Frisken
explores how these newfound visualizations of events during
episodes of social and political controversy enabled newspapers and
social activists alike to communicate-or challenge-prevailing
understandings of racial, class, and gender identities and cultural
power.
