Photo Manipulation and Ethics

1)

A. The main points of this article were that the photographers did wrong by photoshopping and editing their photos. If you photoshop something to be published or taken seriously, it can be a serious offense and you could potentially lose your job.
B. I think that this type of photo manipulation is unethical and wrong because after you edit these photos, they are no longer reliable sources for information, proof, etc.

2)

A.
The edited photo (left), shows how Newsweek tried to clean up McCaughey' s teeth, her real teeth were shown in Time magazine. This is unethical because it doesn't show who she is, it's another way of saying she isn't magazine-worthy.
B. 
I think that this photo is the least unethical from this website because even though the african-american boy was photoshopped in, it shows that they aren't a segregated campus. The other photos on this website are simply unethical because they change the view of the photo or are racist or sexist, etc.
