The coverage is starting to be srutinized a bit more tightly. Questions about all this specific photographers photos are being asked, and one of his photos (of a dead child, I don't know if it is the same on the the story Calculoso references) was a front page photo in some newspapers.
In another case, there is a photo of a lady screaming outside her destroyed home in Beirut, but there is another photo, with the same caption, but taken in another spot a week later. She is either very unlucky, or posing for these photographs.
I think we are seeing many organizations have realized if you control the media you can control the story and public perception. This is only the latest example.
