Check out this fascinating site, called BagNewsNotes. They take vivid images from the news -- usually the paradigmatic image of a major story, but sometimes minor pictures from the edges of coverage -- and dissect them in meaningful ways: what is the subtext? what imagery is being chosen, and whose agenda does it implicitly advance? who or what is absent from these images, and what can we tell from things at the margins of the shot? They do a good job, and give readers a lot to think about. Don't be surprised if you find yourself wandering the archives and learning new things about past news stories...
