Many people in the past have been fired due to photo manipulating, which lets the reader know how serious this action is taken. When a photo is manipulated with and then published, the viewer sees something that is almost all false.
In my personal opinion, I believe photo manipulation has its limits. When a published manipulation goes into for example the Austin American Statesman, and the change is not stated, its unethical because what people see is going to be believed by the reader. In a major important source like the newspaper, majority of the readers believe think what they are reading and that the pictures shown are legit. The only way that manipulation of a photo is acceptable is when the photo is not being published into a source such as a newspaper or maybe even a non fictional book.
This picture was the most unethical in my opinion because the manipulator put the black student in this picture when he really wasn't there at that exact event. Knowing what change was made shows me that there really are not many black people that go to this school, and for them to have to crop someone into the photo is not right. The photographer should have taken a more diverse photo.
