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.
How does the visual language 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
Here you can find all the scraped images with the timestamp in alphabetical order:
edition.cnn.com
eu.usatoday.com
www.bbc.com
www.foxnews.com
www.independent.co.uk
www.lemonde.fr
www.nbcnews.com
www.nytimes.com
www.spiegel.de
www.stern.de
www.theguardian.com
www.thesun.co.uk
www.zeit.de
Outlook
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 should download the imagery for all pages simultaneously.
Also 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…)
