Introduction

The words and photographs in a newspaper are fragments of events and records left behind by the world. They carry messages, as well as people’s perspectives and interpretations of society. The text is like the events experienced by the characters in our script, while the photographs are like peering through a camera’s viewfinder—capturing images and stories, piecing together narratives and viewpoints. Thus, when you roll up a newspaper and hold it to your eye, the hollow center becomes a 'frame,' reflecting the creator’s subjective lens on this overwhelmingly noisy world.
