1. Does the image accurately represent the headline’s message?

Yes.

The image clearly shows a large gathering of nurses and midwives in uniform, wearing red headbands and holding placards common symbols of protest in Ghana. This strongly reinforces the headline about a nationwide strike and public healthcare disruption.


2. What emotions does the image evoke?

The image evokes urgency, solidarity, and frustration The red bands and placards suggest tension and defiance.Viewers may feel sympathy for the nurses, as well as concern for the patients affected by the strike.


3. Is the image manipulated or biased?

No visible manipulation The image is a candid, real-time protest capture However, framing a peaceful and organized protest as this one appears to be leans slightly toward sympathy for the nurses’ cause, especially without images of disrupted patient care to balance the story.


4. How does composition affect storytelling Framing: Focuses on nurses’ backs and a sea of placards, creating a sense of mass unity.


5. Does the image add depth to the story or simply reinforce the headline?

The image adds depth. It not only confirms that the strike occurred—it humanizes the nurses as frontline workers taking a public stand.



6. Would a different image change the reader’s perception of the news?

Yes. An image of patients left unattended might shift the focus to public suffering and tilt sentiment against the strike. A photo of government officials addressing the media could reframe the narrative to be more about policy resolution than protest.


 7. How does the image compare to others covering the same story?

It’s consistent with protest imagery used by local media (Adom, Citi News, MyJoyOnline), but stands out due to.The clarity of uniforms and placards


8. Is the image culturally or politically significant?

Yes. Red headbands and placards are powerful cultural protest symbols in Ghana.

Although the USAID does come in diverse means such as financial grants, technical assistances and advisory support, majority comes in the form of food supplies, medical items and other miscellaneous to usually deprived communities, refugees and conflict areas.
