The 2006 Lebanon War photographs controversies (also referred to as 'Hizbollywood' or 'Hezbollywood')〔'(Im Zweifel für den Zweifel ),' ''Der Tagesspiegel'' 9 August 2006]〕 refers to instances of photojournalism from the 2006 Lebanon War that misrepresented scenes of death and destruction in Lebanon caused by Israeli air attacks. As a result of the scandal, Reuters fired freelance photographer Adnan Hajj, and the AP disciplined several others. Reuters also fired a photo editor, and implemented stricter controls on its photo-gathering process. The controversy began as an investigation of documents by individual bloggers, and spread to print and television media sources. CAMERA, a pro-Israel media watch organization, said that the alleged photographic manipulations were used by the mainstream media in an attempt to sway public opinion and paint Israel as an aggressor, and suggesting that Israel was guilty of targeting civilians.〔("Updated: A Reprise: Media Photo Manipulation" ), Ricki Hollander, CAMERA, 8 August 2006〕 ==Photo manipulation== (詳細はAdnan Hajj, a freelance photographer, was fired by Reuters after he admitted to using Photoshop to add and darken smoke spirals in a photograph of Beirut, in order to make the damage appear worse.〔(Reuters Says Freelancer Manipulated Lebanon Photos ), Photo District News Online, 18 January 2007〕 Reuters stated that Hajj had edited a second photo, and critics raised further questions about Hajj's work.〔("Reuters admits to more image manipulation" ), ''Ynetnews'', 7 August 2006〕 Reuters announced that they had withdrawn "all of Hajj's photos, about 920 images, from its archives".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2006 Lebanon War photographs controversies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
