"The presentation of news reports on the establishment of working groups for the management of transboundary rivers between Azerbaijan and Armenia with photographs unrelated to the subject of the material in a number of media outlets is an example of manipulative visual presentation," APA reports, citing a statement issued by the Media and Broadcasting Council.
The statement noted that such presentations may create misconceptions among audiences about the content of the news, the geographical location of the event, and the nature of cooperation between the parties.
"The repeated sharing of the same images by other media outlets and on social media platforms creates conditions for misconceptions to spread to a wider audience and for unfounded discussions to arise around the topic.
The Media and Broadcasting Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan calls on media organizations to verify the sources and locations of visual materials used in news reports before publication, ensure that visual materials correspond to the content of the news, and avoid presentations that may mislead audiences," the statement said.
