Our policy is short and to the point.
In order to maintain our journalistic integrity, and so that we do not misrepresent information or mislead our readership, we will not manipulate any photographs, for any reason.
We will use darkroom techniques for reproduction purposes and we will produce dropouts and illustrations that involve photographs under the following conditions:
- An image that is dropped out will be used as is. No cloning or rubber stamping parts to change its shape or character.
Illustrations
- If there is more than one person or image involved in the dropout (from different photos), we will make sure one image is more prominent than the other, to emphasize tht the resulting photo package is not real or a face off. We will then make sure the caption information states that the images are taken from separate photos.
- We do not try to fool the reader.
- We label the image as an illustration.
Additionally, all illustrations involving photographs will require the approval of John Glenn.
