To this end, two experiments have been conducted with the aim of providing an empirical framework to the role of graphics in the construction of reality. It was found that graphics increase the recall and retention level of the viewers, and that they can alter viewers' recall of the content of the news stories.xiii, 242 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTelevisionNewscastsGraphic designTypographyLower captionsMapsDominant ideologyRecallRetentionVisual perceptionPN1992.8.G7 E78 1996Television graphics.Thesis
