The press of the 20th and 21st century has been dominated by photography, as it has managed to transform the reader from a passive receiver of information into an eye-witness. Photography has been therefore considered a “universal language”, “a message without a code” (Roland Barthes), capable of facing the ever higher challenges of a globalized world. Nevertheless, it has been proven that the final message is never only a visual one, but a blending of both the visual and the linguistic message accompanying all press photographs.
