Use Caution when Captioning
A Reuters photo by Andres Stapff has an unfortunate caption: “Uruguayan school children observe confiscated guns before being destroyed in front of Congress in Montevideo.”
One word can make a lot of difference. The reality of the situation was much more benign; the photo depicts children looking at a pile of guns that are about to be destroyed.
