Editing pictures have never been so easy. We often catch ourselves taking a photo and putting a filter to make it seem brighter or whatever the case may be. We may not realise that we are using photoshop. When we think of photoshop, we usually only think about photos that are put on magazines and on posters, but little do we know, it is actually found in many of the daily things we read or see. Photoshop occurs in books, on websites, in newspapers, on your facebook feed and many more other places. Although, the photoshop we usually see most often is “the bad” kind, such as blurring out acne, making certain parts of person’s body bigger, it is used for more appropriate reasons as well. The appropriate photoshop would be removing a person, who …show more content…
All the trust is lost when the public finds out that an image that they saw was not something that ever happened. It creates a lot of controversy when you can’t trust a certain newspaper company. When you use an image and create something that was never there, it’s a problem. People should be able to pick up a newspaper and read it and have full confidence in what they are reading about whatever subject it may be. Brian Walski was wrong for creating an image that was taken at a war sight, and making it into something that never happened. Loads of people picked up the paper and shared it with their family and friends, which made all of them believe it. It’s hard to put something out there, but when it becomes a lie, all faith is lost in that company. There is nothing you can do to fix your reputation once a person who thinks it’s okay to fake something. Not only does it create a bad image for the journalist but for the company and it’s readers/viewers. Once a person decides to alter an image, it becomes hard to stop them. There are endless amounts of opportunities to photoshop an image. With the loss of credibility many of the people who work at media companies are working to push stricter laws against
...her and the more modern case of Brian Walski demonstrates the importance of ethics in the mass media. With the public dependent on photographers for images that will give an accurate and true representation of the facts, in some cases even leading to such important decisions as giving relief aid, waging war, or determining votes in an election, it is vitally important that journalistic images be true and unaltered likenesses of real persons and events. Even apparently innocent misrepresentations, designed to create a better image or better prove a point, can have serious consequences for the photographer, the subjects of the image, and the public. It is a reminder of the importance of honesty in all professions.
Fake news has been successful in the last few years because of the content it provides, which most of the time is designed to catch the attention of the readers. In this particular article about a sex trafficking victim who believed she was being tracked, one can see how fake news differs from real news. The article called “They Thought She Was Crazy: Doctor Extracts RFID Chip from Sex Traffic Victim” was published in Before It’s News. The article does not have specific names or dates to prove that the article is real. According to the Society of Professional Journalists, real news authors need to identify their sources clearly (“Code of Ethics”). However, this article does not contain any sources. Also, the lack of organization, grammar and vocabulary does not meet genre expectations. While this article fails to meet genre expectations in a number of ways, I am going to focus on its misuse of pathos and logos. In the article, the author irresponsibly uses pathos and logos. The author takes
She further explained her opinion on the subject in her work what’s Photoshop Got to do with it? Another woman Elizabeth Perle believes that it's too late to consider taking a stand against Photoshop for fear of ruining the careers of actors, actresses, and models. That statement alone proves that society values physical perfection than the health and emotional well-being of people, specifically impressionable teenagers. There are girls everyday who are impacted by the media in one form or
Photoshop was not around in the 1860's, but that didn’t stop people from doctoring photographs. Keith Forrest, Associate professor of Communication at Atlantic Cape Community College says, “As soon as we had the tools to manipulate them [photos] there was an economic incentive to do it. The more provocative the photo---the more readers you could entice.”(“Keith Forrest Interview”) Potentially, the first manipulated photograph is of the sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln (Morgan). This photograph
Photoshop can be used to depict opponents in undesirable situations or to depict events which haven’t actually happened. There have been numerous political scandals where one candidate doctors a photograph of their opponent. In 2012 Wil Cardon, a Republican candidate for the senate, launched a campaign against U.S. Representative Jeff Flake by using doctored photos of Flake to imply that he opposed SB 1070. The pictures had been doctored to feature Flake standing with Obama (McCombs, "Flake: Doctored Photos 'Dishonest '."). Here the doctored photograph was meant to deceive voters into believing an opponent had a certain viewpoint. The pictures depicted a scenario which never happened and may not display the full truth. In this case the doctored photograph crossed the fine moral line. The article Is it Real, Or Is It Photoshoped? discusses the increasing concern of doctored before and after pictures presented to clients by physicians (Anthem Media Group). In this case the photograph is purposely trying to deceive a perspective client into believe that the procedure will be more effective than it actually is. The picture does not present the truth in a scenario where it is unethical not to present the truth. Doctored photographs are not only unethical when they are used deceptively for one’s gain, but also when they are used to destroy another’s

Publishing false or private information is not constitutionally protected by the first amendment. There are limits to publishing information on a popular news article or paper, “First, journalists are not allowed to knowingly print false information about someone—that’s called libel.” (Anastasia) . This shows that journalists cannot publish false information. If a journalist publishes false or private information he or she risks getting a lawsuit. Journalists can publish in any point of view they would like; whether it is biased or not. In an interview Lata Nott of the First Amendment Center at the Newseum Institute states,“The profession also has a history of self-policing to maintain fair and accurate reporting standards—such as
Throughout the recent years, Photoshop has become a widespread phenomenon amongst the world. With the rapidly developing inventions of camera’s and devices with cameras on them; posting pictures on social media has become extremely popular. Along with that, the pressure to appear perfect in said pictures has increased dramatically. Society has become exceedingly focused on the idea of perfect, and what perfect looks like. Especially now, with growing photo sharing phone applications such as Instagram, photo editing is becoming even more popular. Photoshop has proven to have many beneficial uses; however, it also has very negative consequences such as false perceptions, and misleading people.
At the beginning of the movie, Stephen Glass, who is the narrator throughout the movie, speaks about how important it is that a journalist knows who he is writing for and what he is good at. This explains to an extent why he crossed the boundaries to write false articles simply because he knew what subjects would be able to engross the readers and he was good at doing that. Despite the fact that Stephen deliberately applied that perception in the wrong way, he was able to capture the minds of many readers at large with creative and funny stories and this capped his career. I must say I was impressed with how guileful Stephen Glass was in carrying out this act but was disappointed in the end when his excuses were extremely cynical. He should have been prepared to prove the accusations false knowing he wrote a couple of false articles. It was not quite sensible of him to write an article about a software company that exists without having sources to back it up. Although, he was skillful he was at writing lies, h...
Photoshop can come in quite handy and it is useful when trying to perfect an image. Architects, fashion designers, web designers all use photoshop in their careers daily but there is a line and some people cross it. When using photoshop on a person to “perfect” the image the editors get quite drastic; in a recent cover for rolling stone Katy Perry was shown sitting on a bed in just a bra and underwear, seems like the average cover right? Well yes it is like every other magazine except this one had its pre-photoshop cover leaked as well.
In today 's society, people have a very skewed perception of beauty. People are exposed to so many advertisements and pictures that are photo-shopped each day that many do not even realize what they are looking at. They are seeing an image of something that is not real; something that is not even possible to obtain. Photoshop has an outrageously negative effect on men and women in society, creating an unattainable image of perfection.
The introduction of the internet to modern society has brought about a new age of information relation. Since there is no longer a need to wait until the next print day, news from all over the world is available at a person’s fingertips within hours or even minutes of the event. With this advent of such easily accessible information, new problems for the news media have also arisen. Aside from potentially losing good economic standing because newspapers are no longer being purchased in the quantities they used to be, the credibility of the information itself is also put into question. No one would argue that credibility of news sources is unimportant, but there is a discrepancy in what takes precedence; economy and speed or getting the information out correctly at the first publishing by taking the time to make sure all facts are checked. The importance of having a system of checks on all information submitted is paramount. People trust what they read and believe it to be so without always questioning. If all information were to not be checked thoroughly, there would be instances where people read an article only for information included to be wrong and they go on believing such information. This can be very dangerous as misinformed people make misinformed decisions. With an increase in errors being made by citizen bloggers and even major publications, many are worried that journalistic ethics and credibility in the news media are being sacrificed in order to maintain swiftness in the news circuit and to retain personal profits. Though getting information to the masses quickly is a major part of the media’s importance, this should not mean that the credibility of that information being presented should be sacrificed for it...
The article was placed in the magazine and would have therefore been read or at least seen by hundreds of thousands of woman as in its name it says it's Australia’s number one weekly magazine. The gigantic two-page spread of the article with massive headings and images. The article also features two smaller pictures with a small caption surrounding both. It is utterly obvious that the journalist has deliberately made the article to engage and fascinate readers, so society sees my client as a mischievous person. In addition, the article also has the large headline with the statement that ‘Diana tried to kill me’ Not only does that engage and catch their attention it makes them want to keep reading the article.
loosening the spesific creativity in each picture. When people see the major mass of photos
Photography is a mindful medium of expression, perspective, interpretation and can sometimes be truth. The changes throughout the history of photography have changed how people see the image they're looking at. In the 19th century, they were no editing options or software of any kind. You just go through the process and take the photo and people could easily tell it was real. Of course it would a shock to see what was once a real life event in that time period, but then transferred on paper "capturing" the moment itself. The truth could easily been seen, now in the 21st century, most of that has changed. There are
