Individual news analysis – story 1.

Headline: “Expose Forces Government to Re-Examine National Pension Scheme”

News agency: Ghana News Agency.

14th June 2025.

Does the image support the headline?

Yes, the image supports the headline. In the image, President Mahama is shown seated, symbolizing leadership and decision-making. Beside him is an elderly man, likely between 65 to 70 years old. This visual reinforces the focus on pensions and the elderly population.

1.      What emotion does the image evoke?

The image evokes sympathy. The old man’s appearance—his grey hair, wrinkled face, and the way his hands are laid together—creates a sense of vulnerability and need. This emotional tone helps highlight the significance of pensions in supporting the aged.

2.      Does the image show the importance of the pension scheme?

Yes, it does. The image clearly illustrates how essential pension schemes are for the elderly. It emphasizes that people in their old age depend heavily on these funds to survive, especially after retirement.

3.     Does the image add depth to the story?

Yes, the image adds depth to the story. It gives a human face to the issue, making it more impactful. The visual alone can tell a story of its own, which strengthens the reader’s understanding of the headline.

4.      Does the image reinforce the story?

Yes, the image reinforces the story. It visually backs up the written content by showing both a leader (representing government action) and an elderly person (representing pensioners), making the topic more relatable and credible.

5.      Can the image influence the reader’s opinion?

Yes, it can. The image may shape the reader's perception and make them think more critically about the needs of pensioners. For instance, if the elderly person in the image appears poor or tired, readers might feel more strongly about the need for a better pension system.
