An article in the Huffington Post explains how photography changed history by changing events and how people reacted to them.

Photos and videos are able to tell and translate stories, allowing people to witness unfamiliar cultures and places across the world and even outer space. Visual media has transcended fields of study, not only is it used in art, but also journalism, science, medicine, history, and more.
