The document discusses the difference between denotation and connotation in media images. Denotation refers to what can literally be seen in a picture, such as an old man sitting on the pavement in torn clothes. Connotation refers to what an image suggests or implies beyond just the literal depiction, such as that the man is possibly homeless, hungry, and has a lonely expression.
