Montage: Activity 3

As editors exercise their ever-increasing power over information control, what limits would you impose on them as to the extent to which they can manipulate the photographic image?
Devise a series of guidelines that will control the release of images that have been constructed for media use so that the public is aware as to the extent of the manipulation.

Editors that manipulate photographic images should not:

• Pretend their altered images real
• Change peoples views to make them believe something that is not true
• Alter the picture so that it changes the entire meaning of the picture
• Alter the picture so that it comes off as offensive
• Manipulate political images

Editors should:

• Clearly state the fact that the image is altered
• Keep the picture relatively similar to how it was before
• Ensure that their alterations are inoffensive
