The use of only one or two images, in my view, can hurt women and minorities, which seems to against the inclusive spirt of CounterArts. Using more images lets more groups see themselves.

An example: I recently wrote a boosted story on whether Nobel Prize in literature is being dumbed down, linked to the latest award to a white male Norwegian, Jon Fosse. The two logical images to use would have been Fosse and his book cover.

I used those in the header, but if I had used only those, the story would have represented only a white male winner in the images. So I added three more pieces of art to show a female winner (Annie Ernaux) and two minority writers (Kazuo Ishiguro and Gabriel Garcia Marquez). Here's the story so can judge for yourself whether this breaks the flow and "concentration of the reader":

CounterArts is far from the only publication that has posted perhaps unintentionally exclusionary guidelines (whether they exclude potential contributors or images or something else). And I may write a piece on all that I've seen. I'd welcome suggestions as to which pubs and their guidelines should be on the list. Thanks!
