- As editors exercise their ever-increasing power over information control, what limits would you impose on them as to the extent to which they can manipulate the photographic image?
- Devise a series of guidelines that will control the release of images that have been constructed for media use so that the public is aware as to the extent of the manipulation.
I think editors don't have a lot of limits besides, of course simple stuff as in not over editing. Making sure it looks clean and having the ability to edit certain things for our sake. Other limits would be not ALWAYS making us look like the number one hero and give others to look good but of course make sure we look just as good. They edit tons of things on pictures to make sure it looks the way they want it so that we cannot see certain things as society, only what they want us too and they have that ability. Guidelines for checking the manipulation is easy. You can always tell when a picture is messed with, yes this editors are professionals but its easy to spot things. If a video is to go with the picture you can tell how the original set up was. For example these pictures, the left is edited the right isn't. If there is a video watching them and Obama was walking in the front we would know okay the left picture was changed drastically. Also for photoshop of the body, everyone is made to look thin when we have possibly seen these people in person or on video. Its so easy to tell when a picture is photoshopped, and knowing many of the government and people who work with it are corrupt, nothing is ever the way its shown to us.
