Abstract | This two-part series explores U.S. media coverage of the COVID-19 outbreak during the first 100 days of 2020. This second report focuses on the visual messaging of the coronavirus story in the early months of 2020. Just as journalists have chosen their words to convey meaning about an emerging global crisis, photojournalists have crafted similar messages using visual techniques. The COVID-19 photos used lighting, angle, composition, and color as rhetorical strategies for telling a story in ways that words alone could not. A content analysis of 532 randomly selected news images from a sample of news articles (N = 74,737) published by the top 12 U.S. news outlets identified in Report 1. Almost all of the images (95%) were photographs, and the majority (53%) were taken in U.S. locations. Five dominant visual themes--(1) fear; (2) hope; (3) loneliness; (4) determination; and (5) grief--emerged from the sample of news images analyzed.
