Spot on, though as PRB said, pictures lend that human side of tragedy more than words ever will, which can be the straw that broke the camels back in terms of action taken. Additionally, pictures can speak a truth which words can cloud; how I might describe a scene may differ how you would describe the same scene, based on point of view or how we interpret things and put them into words.

Amen to that!
ETA: I know this is going off on a bit of a tangent, but, I highly recommend watching "The boy in the striped pajamas" for a prime example of what picture can do.
