Photo Manipulation and Ethics

   The first day in April is called April Fool’s Day in the United States. In Israel there was a photographer that became very popular because of his photo, but when Kahana's image appeared in Yated Neeman, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish newspaper, it seemed that someone had messed with the photo. Someone at the newspaper used Adobe Photoshop or another software program to remove female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver and replaced them with two men to create an all-male cabinet.
A lot of reporters use photoshop to make the picture better so that they can get famous for their beautiful, but fake photo.
    I think this type of photo editing is unethical because people use it too much to make them famous and most of the pictures we see in magazines aren't real.
I think this photo is the most unethical because you can clearly see the difference of the lighting from her head to her body.
I think this is the most ethical picture because no one is really paying attention to the back and the                             person mostly blends in with the the picture.
