images

It seems to me, as times goes on that if any one thing chance affect public opinion it's pictures. Whether it be the mutilated bodies of children in warzones, the recent topic of caskets, the suffering of people, the emotion and the gravity is best portrayed by pictures. It also seems to me that most news agencies are very light on images.

What I'm wondering is is whether people here feel there would be a demand, or an interest in a news service geared towards images, lots of images, a kind of online life magazine of sorts, back in it's once-a-week heyday. Judging by the interest in photo galleries from Iraq in particular it seems to me there is such a demand, what do other people think?

It's an idea I've had floating around for a fair while but as the chance of me heading off to such places increases I'm wondering if such a service would attract much attention.
