The Los Angeles Times has an interesting article on its journalism blog about a Reuters photo showing what looks like a manipulated image. The good news about the digital era is that readers are becoming increasingly literate in suspecting the validity of an image. As soon as a picture appears in the news, someone, somewhere, is on guard for such fakery. While photo manipulation may be increasing, so to is the number of people calling into question anything that looks out of place. The Times' article does a good job at holding the news media accountable to breaches in ethical standards.
