Summary/Abstract: The article is dealing with the problem of multimodal messages with persuasive function. It is concentrated on the role of iconic elements, and more specifically – photographs, in persuasion. The weekly „Polityka” was the source of examples. The analysis of the four examples shows that photographs not only attract attention and affect emotions but co-create and strengthen argumentation as well.
