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)

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