Description
The richly documented book captures journalistic photography after two decades of digital dominance, a time when the situation surrounding digital representation has stabilized, allowing for a slight retrospective glance. The authors describe the most famous cases of photographic fraud from both the classical and digital ages, showcase the extreme possibilities of new technologies through examples from contemporary art that engages with media images, introduce the newly emerging field of forensic image analysis, and the figure of the digital detective. They focus on case studies of selected scandals caused by the publication of manipulated or improperly altered photographs in the media. The concluding part of the work is dedicated to the normative provisions of individual media and organizations and the ways in which the media have adapted their ethical standards and codes to the new situation.
