Question

What is the cartoonist’s purpose in this editorial cartoon?

to warn people about incoming bad weather
to make a satire about how many reporters cover bad weather
to tell readers that proper weather gear is important
to explain that reporters are forced to do risky work

Answer 1

I don’t see the cartoon — could you upload it or describe what’s pictured (people, caption, labels, actions)?

Meanwhile, quick guide to pick the best answer:
- If the cartoon focuses on a big storm and includes a warning caption, the purpose is to warn about incoming bad weather (choice 1).
- If it exaggerates a large number of reporters covering the same storm or pokes fun at the media’s presence, the cartoon is satirizing how many reporters cover bad weather (choice 2).
- If it emphasizes clothing or equipment (umbrellas, coats, proper boots) as the main point, it’s telling readers proper weather gear is important (choice 3).
- If it shows reporters in dangerous situations (being blown away, in hazardous conditions) and highlights that they’re compelled to take risks, the purpose is to explain reporters are forced to do risky work (choice 4).

If you post the cartoon or its caption, I’ll pick the single best answer.
