Do you need to add images to your Medium story? What the data says

Описание: Do you need to add an image to your Medium story?

In short, no. It's not a requirement to publish, and our data shows that across Medium, stories with images are not more likely to get views or reads. However, some publications require pictures, so carefully read the submission guidelines of any pub you're considering. Plus, adding an image can help provide more context, detail, or richness to your story.
