Photo Manipulation and ethics

In the industry of photo news; there are many photographers and not all are inclined to send in proper photographs they had taken. Photographers caught manipulating photos can face huge issues of distrust and loss of credibility. Once that credibility is lost, careers in this industry can shatter. News companies are looking for honest photographers following guidelines set in the community. The photos shown as examples in the blog are all very unethical. Making photographs appear as something they aren't is something no one should try to do.

This photo is unethical because there was no reason to combine the 2 photos together. 

This photo is not as unethical because the photographer was just trying to avoid a merger.
