Photo Manipulating and Ethics

A. In this story, April Fools Day is ironically a theme. The theme is when photojournalism or photographers who have published their work and have edited their photos, or manipulated them to look how they want. For this, they were fired because it is a terminal offense. Cloning people or things, taking things out of picture, or changing backgrounds or colors. Many photographers have lost their credibility and jobs due to this practice. 

B. I think that this photo editing practice is unethical, because it doesn't show or give the due credits to the photographer. Changing or manipulating their photos doesn't give the audience an honest story or picture. It is lying to the audience. If you really are a good photographer you will get the right picture without having to manipulate it to do what you want to get the credit. 

This photo is the most unethical. Clinton and Fidel Castro did meet but there wasn't a photographer there. This photo isn't technically lying but in it is unethical because the moment that seems to be on the cover isn't real. Thats not what the meet looked like, therefore, it is a lie. 

This one is least unethical. There is no real difference. The contrast is higher but other than that nothing is manipulated.
