| One not so blurry line for me is an old if not ancient one: The Nazis and the Sowjets (and many, many others before and since) having people disappear from their “group shots” - or - in other words - trying to manipulate content and opinion for political propaganda reasons.

I think the line gets more blurry by the minute.
If you shoot “raw” on a digital camera you have to do some Lightroom/Photoshop work just to get the same, or hopefully a better result as your camera with its pre-programmed jpeg options. As far as I know, the current NatGeo mantra is that Lightroom's general adjustments are o.k., but taking parts in or out of a “photograph” is not. How about all those filters, lightening or darkening certain areas, like the ancient dodge and burn … ? If the AP photographer would have just darkened the area where the film camera came in? Still an issue to get fired for?

This was also how Nat Geo felt, but now they all shoot digital, so.... They don’t like me because I do things like take out the truly ugly yellow plastic chains on NPS battlefields, but then they send Ms (Name Redacted) to Portugal and she takes out whatever she can get away with.

Heh. So much for photojournalism. In fact, the photographer was there,
so a photojournalist *editor* should have accepted that one.

Some time ago we had a Photo Editor from the local newspaper speak at a
camera club meeting.
When Photoshop came up she told us about a shot one of the pjs took at
the local annual air show, The photo showed the pj reflected in the
pilots helmet. the pj said he could remove that with Photoshop. She
told him that was not the way it worked. She sent him back to get the
shot without the reflection.
She explained that there is a difference between a photograph and a
Potoshopped IMAGE.

The Associated Press Is Not 'Vogue,' Fired Photoshopping Photographer

"Digitally altering photographs might be accepted -- expected, really
-- when it comes to magazines like Vogue, but it's a big no-no when it
comes to news organizations. Yet that's what one Pulitzer-winning AP
photographer chose to do to a photo he took in Syria in September."
