Photo Manipulation and ethics

A)     The main points of the story is that manipulations is kinda the same as like april fools. April fools day your basiclly lying to people, But what happened here someone minipulated a photo that worked for the news paper, And eventually got fired for scaring probably a lot of people.




B)      I think that this type of photo editing is acceptable but to a certain point.  For example adding another missile to a military launch is unnacceptable, another country could be bothered by it or the military could be brought to attention for supposebly launching more missiles than they really did.  I think it depends on the viewers level of discretion whether or not a photo is unethical or acceptable




A)   The manipulation that was most unethnical because this never happened. The Daily new decieved people minds by making them think that this really happened when it didn't.




B)    I think this picture is the least unethical because it's basically just a picture, a cover. It doesn't contain people or anything that would make it offensive. They manipulated this picture by moving the pyramids closer together to accommodate this vertical National Geographic cover. I think it doesn't hurt anything by doing that. They just want it to look better the way they think it would.
