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.
