Austrian newspaper uses photoshop to add drama to Syria pictures

An Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung got caught using Photoshop to edit images in a news paper. They pasted a family over a building that looks like it was bombed.

Imagine how many other news agencies are doing this? How many picture have we see on newspapers that have EDITED our realities with false truths?

Even if they aren't editing our newspapers, how is the view of our reporters effected by the editing of images from foreign news?

Remember, no news or boring news doesn't pay the bills!

The caption under the photograph that recently ran in Austria's Kronen Zeitung newspaper read, "People flee from the landscape of ruins that some parts of Aleppo have become." Well, that's only half true. The original photograph did show a Syrian family attempting to escape the missile and mortar-blasted city, but Austria's largest newspaper decided the original scene wasn't dramatic enough, so they cut-and-pasted them onto a shot of a bombed-out building. "Here again [is] an example of how the Kronen Zeitung interpreted the theme of truth in the press," one Facebook commenter wrote. The situation in Aleppo definitely doesn't need Photoshop enhancement to appear desperate. "The Krone," as it's known, apparently does.[Source]

And then we wonder why we all have a flawed sense of the reality of our world.

This reminded me of this post posted by Sungazer. In the videos they basically say that the people on TV are all actors, even the people the reporters are interviewing. This article just supports his claims.

I know they fake pictures, but this is creating a false idea of our reality. This is unethical and immoral! People rely on the news to give them a general point of view on what is going on in the world and they're plainly lying with these pictures and it is wrong!

As far as I know there is currently no law to prevent them from lying with photos. "Lying with words" there is all kinds of laws against that.

You know the old saying that "a pictures worth 1000 words", these newspaper agencies will try to skew every one of those thousand words that they can until there is a law against doing so. They do it just make an extra buck!

Remember life isn't as interesting as the movies, so they are trying to make the news as much like a Hollywood movie as they possibly can and conform to the law.

I think it's time to call into question the visual aspect of the news and newspapers.

Look at fox news logo from their website:



It says "Fair and balanced" under their logo. How about "honest and truthful" or even "ethical and moral"!
