Story with images

Images play an important part in every article. They are the entry point to stories and often determine whether a reader clicks on an article. They engage the audience, convey information effectively, capture attention, evoke emotions, and provide context. Whether it’s a photograph, an informative chart, or a historical image, visuals enrich the narrative and make articles more memorable. So don't hesitate to use it. But remember to use the proper license.

Using relevant images in articles tends to increase readers' engagement. Visuals provide a break from text sections, making readers experience better. Additionally, when readers pause to check images, for example, charts or infographics, they spend more time on the article. Also, articles with striking visuals are more likely to be shared on social media.

There are several different types of images you can use. Each type serves a different function.
