Photoshop: A Photojournalists Best Friend?
Reuters has admitted that a recently published photo was doctored and has offered an apology. It seems, however, that the story doesn't end there and is eliciting calls for an outside investigation into allegations that other photos have also been doctored. Could it be that some of these news agency have been...gasp!...unethical?It is sad to say, but it is hard to know who to trust anymore when reports hit that airwaves. Frankly, I'm thankful for the blogosphere that has, on numerous occassions, served as watchdog to the big news-making machine. Funny, though, how it used to be the news agencies who served as watch-dogs for politicians. How the tide has changed.
BTW, maybe it's just me, but that has to be the worst doctored photo I have ever seen which leads me to think Reuters couldn't have possibly been fooled by that.

You know, and what's bad is that the so called doctoring is so shoddy, I'm not sure who they were trying to fool. And what's wrong with the original picture? The doctored picture is not an improvement!
