In “The War Photo No One Would Publish”, the author Torie Rose DeGhett depicts the meaning behind censorship along with the technicalities that it has on public views. DeGhett proposes that pictures should always be published so the viewers can get a comprehensive detailed effect of what is happening around the world they inhabit.
