- As editors exercise their ever-increasing power over information control, what limits would you impose on them as to the extent to which they can manipulate the photographic image?
- Devise a series of guidelines that will control the release of images that have been constructed for media use so that the public is aware as to the extent of the manipulation.
There should be different guidelines for what the media and editors are trying to display. A fictional piece should be able to have zero limit to what you can manipulate. However, when the media tries to display something for sale or is passing an image off as real, there should be many guidelines. If models are modeling for weight loss, clothing, or body appearance, there should be no liquification of their frame. Acne and makeup models should not be editing to remove blemishes, and so on. If model's pictures are modified in any way, the media should notify the public, like saying so in a commercial or writing it directly on a billboard.
