One visible image of civilian suffering outweighed all war reporting

Evidence

A Pulitzer Prize was awarded for a powerful photograph that captured the anguished cries of a girl whose clothes were burned off by the napalm bombing of her village in Vietnam. This single humanization of inflicted destruction probably did more to turn the American public against the war than the countless reports filed by journalists. The military subsequently banned cameras and journalists from battlefield areas to block the publication of images of death and destruction. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 450
