4. Is Photoshop Killing Photojournalism?

We see a number of photos on the internet, television, magazines, billboards, newspapers, advertisements etc. Very large amount of space are given to visual. We can see people and different events from all around the world with photos of them. But are they real? We don't know. I think some people use the technology for their own benefits. For instance, people are curious about famous people's life and journalists make fake photos of famous people to draw attention. In my opinion it is not ethic, these fake things decrease their reliability and they must always tell the truth to us.

    The title of your post poses such a great question!! Hazal Kamışlı has blogged about this, perhaps you'd like to read her posts and leave your comments:

    Hello :)
    I agree. These days, I find it hard to believe that what I see in front of me is real! The media makes me suspicious. They should ALWAYS tell the truth- no matter what! They shouldn't toy with the public because you never know. One day, they might be the victims themselves!

    Yes, i watched the dove video you shared on your blog. It's very impressive and also shows how media lies and the effects of photoshop, the ''unreal beauty'' they created.
