Seems to me that the finger is being pointed at both, and that Reuters has made an admission of thier error as soon as they found out about it. Reuters has taken steps to correct the issue. The photographer in question has had his catelogue pulled and the photo editor has likely lost his job. Reuter's takes a kick in the nuts on the issue. They stood up and got grilled by all comers because they believe that they should admit their mistakes and continue to try and provide the news in as fair way as possible. What else can they do?
Again, this is not a deception committed BY Reuters, but them passing along information that they thought was on the up and up. As soon as they found out about the matter they pulled the information. Seems that they care as much about the integrity of the information they aprovide as you do. If they were the ones that doctored the photos I would say hang them. The photographer in question will never work in that industry again. His work will never be trusted as authentic, so he has been sanctioned. I guess you have to ask yourself, what else can be done? It is not like Reuters did not immediately take corrective actions and admit wrong doing. What do you suggest they do?
