What's your take on Beijing's use of computer graphics in the opening ceremony? Do you think NBC should have told its viewers beforehand?

Way to set your journalistic standards low by dressing up an article on low journalistic standards with a frivolous poll. NBC did tell its viewers beforehand.

Im going with an F minus in investigation and a B plus in instigation here Newsweek.

trueaustinite		2008-08-18 08:05:10 PM

The fact that a bunch of nimrods can photoshop has nothing to do with whether or not photojournalism has lost credibility.

You're giving yourselves WAAAAAY too much credit.

Photographs are occasionally altered to make them appear more menacing and/or relevant.

ninjakirby: The trick is knowing which is fake.

Well, photo retouchers always slim down the subject, so it's obviously the first one. But retouchers also always hypersaturate the colors, so it's obviously the second one.
