supei's Digi-ImagingXperience

What are the ways readers can judge the credibility of an image even in this era of digital manipulation?

- Examine the image by oneself, to check if it has been manipulated
- Google to around to see if there are other versions around, so as to check on hints or possibly of imposition
- Google on the photographer/creator to check on his/her reputation
- Even in the case of photojournalism, images used by credible newspaper/news site, never believe images fully, viewer discretion is always needed

Imagine yourself as a reader representative for a newspaper. What would you tell a reader who complained to you about a picture of a car wreck that was particularly upsetting?

- Apologize that the image made him/her feel that way
- Not intentional to make readers feel disturbed
- Would inform reader from deontological ethics viewpoint
- That it is the duty of the reporter/ newspaper/ editor to report and show the readers what had happened
- Photo choose on a basis that would portray the story the best
- And from utilitarian and ethical altruism viewpoint that it would at the same time serve as a good reminder to others/majority to drive carefully
