#1: CARTOON ANALYSIS
1. What symbolisms are used in this picture?
The symbolisms used in the picture are the use of multiple TV screens showing different news channels, and internet
social media and entertainment sites (facebook,twitter and youtube), that are being monitored by the man for him to
become updated all the time about the news on his surroundings.

2. What is the message of this picture?

I think that the message of the cartoon is to people do not accept easily the news or informations that is being given and
stated on internet, radio or any other sources. It also appeals that we should make sure if the information given is stated
at all sources before accepting that information. Also, this cartoon is very timely because of fake news that is being
spread to our society today.

I agree with the message of the cartoon, because nowadays fake news and untruthful informations breaks relationships
of one nation, friendship and even system of one state.
