Ethical Beliefs in Photo-journalism

I believe that if you are a good photojournalist you will have no need to alter your photo, there is a difference between things like cropping which I believe is ok because you are not really altering the picture, more like pin-pointing a specific part of the photo. There are things like erasing things from the photo and adding things to the photo, digitally altering. There is a limit to altering you could say.
I think a photo can capture the truth, but it is the photojournalist's job to get a decent photo that has no need for digital alterations.

Fashion Ethics

Changes Made to the Model with computer:
Clearer Skin
Longer Neck
Bigger Eyes
Fuller Lips
More Hair
Smaller Ears

I think that it was completely unethical for them to change the model as much as they did. I think that it is alright for them to change whatever they want in real life, but I do not think they should be able to physically alter someone's appearance on the computer.
The difference between fashion photography and photojournalism is that 99.9 percent of the time fashion pictures are unethically altered in some way, most of the time in photojournalism, alterations of an image are very minuscule .

Ethics: Manipulation

I think that it was least unethical for national geographic to move the pyramids closer together because they are not altering a historical event, they were just altering the image slightly to accommodate the vertical cover.

I think the Daily News was wrong for printing this photo altered as it was, because absolutely nothing about this photo is real except the people, the whole thing is a false story and should not have been aloud to be printed.

Ethics: Photo Manipulation

UW-Madison doctored a picture used for the cover of 110,000 brochures and new student applications. The shot was taken at a 1993 Badgers football game. Paul Burrows, vice chancellor for student affairs came across the original photo which had only white students in it, he, being black, said that it did not represent the campus' diversity, none of the pictures did. Burrows was later presented with an altered image, someone had digitally altered the image to try and represent racial diversity by adding Diallo Shabazz's face, who is black, to the left corner of the image.
