Photo Manipulation and Ethics

Photographers, professionals or regular people, are constantly changing photos. They can take items out of photos or add extra items in. People do this to make the photo more interesting or to alter the message that the photo is conveying. If a person gets caught altering a photo then all of there credentials are taken away and most of the photos they have taken will be blocked so the public can't see the altered images anymore. This is completely unethical because people look at the pictures in a newspaper to help add to message that the article stated and if the photo is altered then the people are getting a false message.
