When the lighting is off, the government is in trouble, or you just can't cover up that pimple, photo manipulation through programs like Adobe Photoshop is always helpful. Sometimes though, its not the right thing to do. In the passage our class read on Global journalist they spoke about how photoshop can fullfill any man's sexist needs, or any bombings dramatic touch with a woman used in photos before.
This type of editing is unethical due to the pure thought of basic human rights. Women may be allowed to be part of governments, that lady did not give you permission to use her photo, and that man, no matter if you like him or not, was in that photo.
This photo of Oprah's head pasted onto Ann Margaret's body was highly unethical to be because it showed the high amount of boy shaming photographers (especially for magazines and celebrities) had in the 1980's.
This manipulated photo of Bill Clinton and Fidel Castro may be phony,
but these two actually did meet up at a UN meeting in New York. There were no photographers present. I don't find this photo unethical.
