Photo Manipulation and Ethics

    During 2006-2007 multiple newspapers were taken down for the editors photo shopping the pictures they took. On April 1, 2006 a newspaper used a photoshop program to replace the female ministers on the cabinet in Israel. There have ten other incidents where newspapers had to be shut down for Photoshopping like Adnan Hajj was shut down for manipulating 2 photos  during the 2006 Lebanon War.

     Manipulated photos are unethical because you are purposely changing a photo from how it was original taken and if its a picture for the newspaper then it should be the original picture. Manipulated photos can also be ethical when your trying tho change a slight flaw in the picture.



This photo is unethical because the women in the photo has different teeth and you can tell difference easily.



This photo is the least edited and that makes it the least ethical.
