Photo Manipulation and ethics

A. Summarize the main points of the story in 1-4 sentences.
When dealing with the press, photo manipulation is taken very seriously. Not only can that get the photo editor fired, but It can cause a lot of scandal.

B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
I think this type of photo editing is unethical because of the fact that it's lying to the viewer, the viewer will probably not know that the photo is altered and might get a different reaction to the edited photo than he probably would've had to the original photo.
2. Look through the example images on this page:

 I think this photo is the most unethical because of the fact that this never happened. So it's lying to the readers and can also stir up some rumors or gossip about a debate that never happened. It also includes the (back then) president of the United States, and the late Saddam Hussein and it's basically a political lie.

I don't think this one is as bad as the others because this really happened. They just got the man holding his kid from the other photo and put it on this one. So it's not really that bad of a manipulation.
