The NYT published a picture that was digitally altered. Full story at the PDN website: http://www.pdn-pix.com/pdn/newswire/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003574561 "The Times' note comes the same week as another newspaper, The Toledo Blade, disclosed that it published dozens of photos that were digitally altered by photographer Allan Detrich in the last few months. Detrich resigned from the paper". The article ends with "... Had editors been aware of the manipulation and seen the original picture, they would have either published the picture with the blemish or not used it." So, what good is the NYT policy if the photo ran anyway? The photo was *not* from a staff photographer in the first place. So may I be so bold to insist: we might as well never have found out, and then what! ********************** www.alberto-tirado.com johnploy.blogspot.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
