In the Image Appropriation (I) with Javi we played around with the Download All Images Extension for Firefox Quantum: https://add0n.com/save-images.html

The Research

Using this extension I tried to do a snapshot of various news sites online.

What does the imagery – regardless of the webdesign/visual appearance – of each news site look like?
What kind of photos are on display? (for example portraits, landscapes)
Which site is triggering emotions? (for example overexaggerated facial expressions)
Is the site heavily influenced by advertisement imagery?

The Results: News sites on 10-1-2018 between 3:50 and 3:57 PM

Of course there can be done various improvements. Because I was manually triggering the extension there is a small time difference inbetween scraping the various sites. To have a neutral overview, the script would have to download the imagery for all pages simultaneous at exactly the same time.
In addition, the extension seems to have trouble to download all pictures on some webpages. I still have to do some test runs with various parameters (Deep Search Levels and so on…)
