photo manipulation and ethics

A. This story explains the crops that photographers have done on photos that are unacceptable to do. It explains them sometimes make it look more dramatic or different than what was really happening. The photographers would be fired, but not everyone learns their lesson until it happens to them.

B. This type of cropping and photo editing isn't allowed, because the news is supposed to give all facts, and editing pictures can make others assume that what happened was either more or less intense than it was, and the news needs to say the whole truth.

I think this photo was unacceptable, because it is making this man seem even more black than he is just for an intense story, but they don't have to lie about his skin.

I think this photo was acceptable, because it was just changing a feature to make her teeth look better which really isn't going to affect much.
