Falsifying Pictures!

Falsifying pictures to the public is something that is terrible in the media today. Technology is expanding and growing so much in a way that it is affecting our society. Many news reporters can now take a picture and change it completely to look more appealing to the public. The picture I chose to analyze was the one of the heavy amount of smoke surrounding the Lebanese capital. This picture was originated in Lebanon and was manipulated in a drastic way by the editors. The original picture did not appear with so much smoke. The editors decided to take the picture and add more smoke which also dramatisized the picture. This was done with the intention of catching the attention of readers by making the picture look more in depth. This manipulation of the picture I beleive is considered harmful to people since it is a disturbing image that would have the capacity of impacting people in a negative manner. The addition of more smoke in the picture make people think that the raid was worse than it really was which is not fair to the public!
