The National Press Photographers Association Code of Ethics says: \u201cEditing should maintain the integrity of the photographic images\u2019 content and context. Do not manipulate images . . . in any way that can mislead viewers or misrepresent subjects.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nSun-Times editors weren\u2019t always so cavalier about the use of fake photos. In 1990, the deputy managing editor for sports was fired for approving a doctored photo of Cubs pitcher Danny Jackson wearing a hockey mask on the mound. It appeared inside the sports section with a story about former Cincinnati Reds teammates calling Jackson \u201cJason\u201d after the character in the \u201cFriday the 13th\u201d movies.<\/p>\n
In a published apology to readers, editor Dennis Britton wrote: \u201cThe Sun-Times deeply regrets this lapse from standard practice, which will not be repeated.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Buyer beware: You can\u2019t believe what you see on the front page of the Sun-Times. Twice in recent weeks, the Sun-Times has published digitally altered photographs with Page 1 sports stories. Both were labeled \u201cSun-Times illustration\u201d in type that was barely legible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5948"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5956,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5948\/revisions\/5956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/robertfeder.dailyherald.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
