A) The story offers about 4 to 5 stories about doctoring and modifying photos. In each case, it was either to make a situation more appealing, or correct, or even to just make up events. The manipulation has led to people getting fired, Pulitzer prizes being mis-given, or all images being removed. Photo manipulation in important event document journalism is considered wrong, and unethical.
B) I think this kind of work is unethical because it alters real time significances or events, changing the view on history, or the memory of history. Photojournalism and journalism is about reporting and depicting events in a fair and real way.

A) I believe this photo is the most unethical because it adds a person who wasn't there before to increase the good reputation for Wisconsin.
B) I believe the doctoring of this photo is the least unethical because the image simply seems darker and the orientation seems further up than the other.
