Someone needs to get a quote from Dan Rather.
Sure to be as good as fake-but-accurrate.

"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image," Szlukovenyi said in a statement.But pictures of staged events are still acceptable.

"his work showed he had altered two images"
2 out of 920 is blatant Reuters BS! They know darn well that he has doctored all of them in some fashion. It maybe as simple as adjusting the light but it's only done to sensationalize the scene and not to show the true scene.

Several blogs, including a number which accuse the media of distorted coverage of the Middle East conflict, said the photograph had been doctored.OK - so the pictures have been exposed and handled, now fix the the printed coverage, Reuters...

Reuters should post all of the pictures on a special website for all to see and investigate. Reuters shouldn't be allowed to self police...they cannot be trusted.

Withdrawing the photos sounds like a "clean-up" effort, but I really doubt that is the actual purpose.
I suspect Reuters wants to make it harder to find more of the fakes this guy is responsible for. Find too many fakes and people might start looking at OTHER Reuters stuff as well...

Removing the images from the Reuters database excludes them from future sale.And, more importantly, future scrutiny.

It seems it isn't just this particular Reuters photographer -

Either this woman is the unluckiest multiple home-owner in Beirut, or something isn't quite right.

Same clothes, same scar on her left cheek, same mark under her right eye. Two pictures of the same woman, maybe even taken on the same day. So, what gives?

"Reuters has zero tolerance for any doctoring of pictures"
Does that mean Reuters tolerates staged pictures??

Does anyone know of or have the other doctored picture?

It maybe as simple as adjusting the light but it's only done to sensationalize the scene and not to show the true scene.Soon to come talking points:
MSM: "But we've been doing this for ever, even the soldiers raising the flag on Iwo Jima is staged..."

the deliberate manipulation of an image Needs a different qualifier than 'deliberate'. All news media published images are manipulated to some degree.

The damage has already been done. Reuters should have screened this guys work before publication. Most of his photos look staged or "sensationalized."
