Macleod, Scott. “The Life and Death of Kevin Carter” This is Yesterday.com 1 Aug. 2015 <http://www.thisisyesterday.com/ints/KCarter.html>

The primary audience is made up of people who are interested in the subject and have some knowledge of world political affairs. Having a representative of photojournalism will help readers empathize and relate to the problems they face.
Linfield, Susie. “Morality and the Photographer” Los Angeles Times (2001). 1 Aug. 2015 <http://articles.latimes.com/2001/jan/21/books/bk-14877>
Linfield discusses in an informal but eloquent manner the way in which we perceive photos and how they represent something different for each viewer. The audience is made up of people informed and concern about the profession and world affairs. She questions the absolute value we tend to give photos, especially is they are "authentic" i.e. not doctored in any way. This will help bring a fresh perspective into the argument, which can become too narrow with only two sides. It will help sustain the subject.

Magdij talks about the perception of photographs as a function of who we are as individuals. She discusses several points of view from comments on the article, which range from outraged to philosophical. The audience is made up of people interested in the subject who appreciate a more raw, gritty style of writing. She discusses the effects of different reactions to graphic images in the news.
