The power of image to deliver information and influence meaning in the age of fake news argues for better media literacy training. While establishing use parameters makes good sense for models, photographers and photo suppliers, expecting stock photo companies to police the use of their photos is not only unreasonable, but skirts the more important issue of personal responsibility. Photos influence content meaning by proximity whether related or not. Visual communication is increasingly easy, from SnapChat and Instagram to YouTube. Media literacy can raise awareness about responsible use and make us smarter about our innate response and less vulnerable to manipulation.
