Although the news reporters wouldn’t have secured certain financial gain, it would have been best long term if they took a different approach in capturing the civil rights protests. Berger is right about the media using African-Americans as victims doing as much harm as it did good, however I disagree with the statement that it was to soothe this concept of “white anxiety”. The idea of white anxiety is used as a poor interpretation by mainstream media and some political narratives to gain leverage on “white America”. Berger’s claim that  the African American social image was tainted due to the necessity to portray them as victims in order to sooth white anxiety rests on the questionable black & white common ways of that X can’t happen without Y being affected negative. If the media didn’t frame African-Americans protesting as victims, then the alternative photographs would be of those depicting African-American civil rights activists trying to overthrow an existing system right? That’s exactly where the attempt to avoid “white anxiety” would arise, so no. Instead, it would do civil rights activists more justice if a timeline of photos were posed on media outlets rather than a picture taken out of context. If a society integrated with African-Americans could have been a certain possibility, then it would have been better to cater to a more fair depiction of the world events objectively rather than to anyone’s favor.
