Pretty much the story is talking about reasons why it is unethical for photojournalists to manipulate a photo. A photojournalist is just like a regular journalist, they go out into the world and document whats going on- but instead of using words to describe whats happening- they use pictures The main points of the story are to tell the reader how manipulating and altering a photo can have consequences, all because you were just trying to make the picture something it isn't. The article gives an example of many instances where this has happened. The article also explains to the reader how it is a major risk in altering these images because they always must present true pictures. With programs like photoshop, it is hard for readers to distinguish between a real picture and a fabricated picture.
B. Explain why you think this type of photo editing is unethical or acceptable.
I think that photo editing is always unacceptable, for example in a magazine, this would be wrong and unethical because they can take a picture of an celebrity enjoying a day at the beach with her family, and turn it into the headline "______ ______ Gains 70lbs! Look at that cellulite!" Manipulating an image is like having a news anchor lie about the day's headlines.
Most Unethical: :(
This picture is very unethical because they are exploiting the colored student to make their campus seem more diverse.
Least Unethical: :\
This picture is still not acceptable because, it's a inanimate object, not a person, but still, it is lying to the public to make the picture "look better"
