Associated Press
The Reuters news agency said Monday it has cut its ties with a Beirut-based freelance photographer who it found had manipulated two photographs from the ongoing fighting in Lebanon. It also removed all 920 pictures by the photographer from its database.
This two-photo combination made available Monday, Aug. 7, 2006 by the Reuters news agency, shows an Aug. 5, 2006 photograph of smoke rising from burning buildings after an Israeli air strike on the suburbs of Beirut by Beirut-based Reuters freelance photographer Adnan Hajj. Reuters on Sunday, Aug.6 withdrew the image after evidence emerged that it was manipulated to show more smoke. The manipulated image is shown on the left. The unaltered image, shown on the right, has since run. Reuters has told the photographer, freelance Adnan Hajj, that the agency will not use any more of his pictures. (AP Photo/Adnan Hajj, Reuters)
