Crossed my feed, and I thought the implications of "media manipulation" would interest the community.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, I like Michael Kamber's statements on the subject and his exhibit. “I think there will be some unhappy people. That’s good. If people would stop faking photos, then they wouldn’t have to be worried about being called out.
I’ve lost friends who put their lives on the line to get it right, and then you have people faking it. It’s a betrayal. Just get it right. Don’t change things, don’t direct your subjects, don’t lie in your captions, don’t move pixels. Get it right. That’s what we’re here to do.”

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS This is a great post. I love it when people like this exhibit controversial images that bring out the truth. Yea, he'll probably set some real popular photographers and news agencies reeling or back a few notches into reality. Good stuff

Sir, thank you. I first became really aware of the issue when reading Rising Sun (M. Crichton) a little over 20 years ago, when he referenced one of the photos the article did (the pyramids), but he approached it from the technological aspect as opposed from the ethical aspect.
Another post last week, highlighted how the media could crop a single photo to manipulate the narrative.
But this... when you get the photographer in the mix as an accomplice...

'Yellow Journalism' is alive and well throughout the world, ethics and integrity once a sought after and valued quality by media employers pretty much went out the window when Pulitzer and Hearst went head to head during the Cuba issue. Pulitzer sold out to 'Yellow Journalism' to keep his business afloat against Hearst, who was the 'King of Yellow Journalism', (this was a sad thing - Pulitzer was the only one dead set against falsifying information). Ever since, the world has been subjected to multitudes of erroneous reporting and falsified and/or altered pictures just to generate headlines and revenue.

Hearst's Yellow Journalism involving the sinking of the USS Maine in Cuba was the subject of a paper I wrote for a US History class my junior year of high school in Japan. Later on, I retyped just the cover page and received three A+ grades in three different courses at San Jose State prior to enlisting when I lost my deferment. San Jose State was the number one party school the two years I attended.
