No Linky Love Here
By now you've prolly heard about the Photoshopped Reuters photos. See if you can find what's missing from this paragraph.
Reuters ended its relationship with Hajj on Sunday after it found that a photograph he had taken of the aftermath of an Israeli air strike on suburban Beirut had been manipulated using Photoshop software to show more and darker smoke rising from buildings.
Hmmm. Who found the photos had been altered? There's a hint at the very end of the article.
Questions about the accuracy of the photograph arose after it appeared on news Web sites on Saturday.
Several blogs, including a number which accuse the media of distorted coverage of the Middle East conflict, said the photograph had been doctored.
Oh come on CNN. Would it kill you to properly credit those who discovered the problem?
At least Reuters did the right thing.
