Savages, great way to put it.
Since my only foray into journalism was HS yearbook, is cropping ok? Not being a jag, serious question. The more I think about it that could really change the context. Blurring, black boxing, that's seems black and white to me.
I hav no problem with it just as so it doesnt alter what youre communicating. Great example, there was an AP photo from Monday of a guy in a wheelchair from Boston. 90% of the time, I've seen it cropped in. The Atlantic ran the original crop and its quite the stomach turning, graphic photo. Cropping in doesnt change anything in the photo and make it more palatable to the viewing public. But those are decisions done farther up the chain by the AP.
Again, the general rule is not to deceive people.
