Media can make or break a story. You could have an all around great story but the interview you have backing it up could go against everything you say. You could have a great picture but the words might ruin it.. Media is a tricky thing; sometimes you have to fit it into your story other times you have to make your story fit it.
Media can sometimes persuade a reader. For example, you're reading a story about a small town in Africa; there's a picture of a starved, dehydrated young woman and her dying child or there's a picture of a family smiling. Think about it which picture would have an effect on you and grab your attention?
Always remember the phrase, "a picture is worth more than a thousand words". Without the proper story to back it up, a picture can mislead an audience.
