  14. Images of TrustAudiences Experiencing News Images: Do people have confidence in the news images of the press and internet newspapers?

  15. The question of trust /confidence • Trustworthiness of journalism & photojournalism • Trust/confidence is a relationship of productive power • Digital processing of images

  16. Conclusion Tentativeresults on the qualitative interviews Silent confidence • People do not think about the trustworthiness of the news image before they suspect something is fake. Three levels of confidence • 1. the topic of the picture, the inner ‘reality’ of the image, is the frame of interpretation and also the basis for confidence or suspect • 2. the photograph itself is the frame of interpretation and the basis for confidence or suspect • 3. the context - the text of the article and news media - gives a frame of interpretation, and constructs the relation of confidence or suspect to the image. It reflects the confidence on the newspaper (print or online).
