Reuters Drops Lebanese Photographer over Doctored Photo

    黎巴嫩摄影师因照片造假遭路透社弃用

    Reuters, the global news and information agency, told a freelance Lebanese photographer on August 6th that it would not use any more of his pictures after he doctored an image of the aftermath of an Israeli air strike on Beirut. The photograph by Adnan Hajj, which was published on news websites, showed thick black smoke rising above buildings in the Lebanese capital after an Israeli air raid in the war with the Shi'ite Islamic group Hizbollah, then in its fourth week. Reuters withdrew the doctored image and replaced it with the unaltered photograph after several news blogs said it had been manipulated using Photoshop software to show more smoke. Reuters has strict standards of accuracy that bar the manipulation of images in ways that mislead the viewer. (Reuters)
