Abstract
- The article discusses the role of photography in influencing cultures and determines its capacity in validating history. It discusses the issues associated with the use of technology in manipulating images which can represent the truth and has became a powerful tool in hiding the reality. It then relates the personal experience of the author as a journalist in challenging the control of propagandist's power over the media. Moreover, it discusses the emerging advocacy for new expression of the formerly known Third World that challenges the western countries' rhetorics of democracy.
