The aftermath

Reuters have pulled all photos taken by photographer Adnan Hajj after yesterday’s revelation that one of his pictures had been altered in PhotoShop. Even though Reuters acted rather quickly in this matter I do feel like their reputation has been severely damaged. Not good since they are suppose to be one of the most trustworthy news sources we have.

This whole ordeal also shows that the blogsphere is here to stay and that they are to count on. Jeff Jarvis at
BuzzMachine has more on this and the ongoing debate between blggers and mainstream journalist. One just has to wonder who is right and who is wrong in this case…
