|---|---|
| Source |
The Sun, 4 May 1982. Copyright belongs to The Sun |
| Portion used |
Full front cover. |
| Low resolution? |
Yes, sufficiently low resolution that the text of the story cannot be read- only the layout and striking headline (for which the cover is known) are visible. |
Rationale for use
| Article | |
|---|---|
| Purpose of use |
The iconic image is used to illustrate and identify the notorious and much-analyzed "Gotcha" headline and the accompanying front-page coverage in the Sun newspaper following the sinking of the Belgrano. This newspaper coverage is itself a vital component of the story of the Falklands War from the British perspective. |
| Replaceable? |
The image is being used to illustrate the headline/front page itself. As such, it cannot be replaced by a free image, and the section could not reasonably be understood through textual description alone. |
| Article | |
|---|---|
| Purpose of use |
The cover is used to illustrate a section of the article specifically about the headline and its notoriety, which are of vital importance to the topic of the ARA General Belgrano. |

| Article | |
|---|---|
| Purpose of use |
The image is used alongside a discussion of this particular front page, with criticism of the article's subject due to this image, and the subject's later attempts at defending the image. A discussion of the question of whether this image does show that the article's subject "was glorifying slaughter" cannot be complete without the image itself. |

| Article | |
|---|---|
| Purpose of use |
The image is used in the article alongside an explanation that "One of the paper's best known front pages, published on 4 May 1982, appeared to celebrate the news of the torpedoing of the Argentine ship the General Belgrano during the Falklands War by running the story under the headline "GOTCHA"." Upon reading this, it is clear that a reader would be significantly aided in seeing the cover, so that they may judge for themselves the legitimacy of the claim that the paper "appeared to celebrate the news". The issue is clearly one of importance to the history of the paper, and it cannot be fully understood without illustration. |
