Debating the Power and Influence of the Political Cartoon<br />
Use this and other evidence to prepare a debate on the power and influence of the <strong>political</strong> cartoon in a<br />
democracy. Some issues to consider might include:<br />
• Who ‘reads’ <strong>cartoons</strong>?<br />
• Do <strong>cartoons</strong> influence people more than the articles in a newspaper (which are usually more balanced)?<br />
• What if different <strong>cartoons</strong> present different ideas on the same day?<br />
