Picture manip
I chose the NBC News picture because i thought it related to everyday tv broadcasts. This particular picture originated on the news. The background is manipulated to make it seem as though the news caster is in times square. Reasons for this manipulation could include advertising or just having the background be whatever you're discussing. In this particular photograph it is becuase they want to give a sense of the New Years spirit, thus making Times Square the background. I dont think that this particular manipulation is harmful to anyone, however, it is misleading....

Nice post Ben. I agree that this specific case isn't harmful but a similar one could be in the future.
Yup, I believe that this photo was not harmful in any way, the only thing is that it is indeed misleading. Good post Ben!
Hey ben, good post!I agree that this picture is not harmful, but it is scary to see that such a small detail would be manipulated. It makes you wonder what else is manipulated that we never notice .
For reasons like this, it's true that we have to be critical when watching news. Pictures can be manipulated easily for an effect, especially by the media. But, you're right, just changing a background to make it look like New York isn't harmful, I think. Nice post.
I agree that this picture wasn't harmful, just misleading.
