Ethics of the Image

I think photojournalism ethics should be situational because in somecase i think its okay to change a picture. Only if you dont change your picture so much that it changes the whole story of the picture from the original story it had.I dont think a photo can capature the truth because if some people look at a certain picture they might see a diffrent story then the photographer.I think editing is okay to like cut somthing out of the picture because its still the same picture. Just dont edit it and put like a airplane in it. Its important that they have clear standrad so the editor knows whats okay if a certain circumstands comes up like what happend with the stripper, when they thought it was too revealing.

Fashion Ethics
Some changes that they made to the model were the made her cheeks skinnier, lifted her neck, and made her eyes bigger
I dont think its okay to change people that much because if they were going to change someone that much, they should of just found someone that look like that. It also give girls a bad image of what you need to look like.
The types of change i think are okay were when the made it brighter and thats about it.
The diffrents i think are between photography and photojournalism are photojournalism its like was happening and its a truthful picture of whats happing and photography isent as truthful because they edit the picture.
