Editorial cartoons

Editorial cartoons, such as those from US News, The Week, The Washington Post, or Politico, can help provide a window into reactions to public policies or what governments or individuals do. 

Photos

Photos, such as Photography 4 Humanity or Moving Walls, can be powerful evidence of human rights abuses, and bring public and media attention to otherwise overlooked problems.
