LONDON (Reuters) - Reuters named a new chief photographer for the Middle East on Thursday and said it had tightened its editing procedures after the publication last year of two photographs that had been digitally altered.
The measures were among several steps announced by David Schlesinger, editor-in-chief of the global news and information agency, following an internal investigation that he said had resulted in disciplinary action.
The two photos, both of Israeli military action in Lebanon during the war there last August, were taken by a freelance photographer, Adnan Hajj.
Reuters ended its relationship with Hajj following an initial inquiry soon after bloggers questioned whether the photographs had been digitally altered using Photoshop software. All Hajj's images were removed from the Reuters Pictures sales database.

Reuters is a snake pit of the best liars and deceivers in the MSM. Reuters hates a strong America and attack us, lie about us, and try to deceive the world until they close their doors. We will continue to see more fantastic BS from Reuters as shown below:
Bulletin! Bulletin! Below is a mix of FAUXLEBANONNEWS and FAUXTOGRAPHY: The disturbing make believe photos from this disturbing make believe event are shown below. Dont allow children under the age of 30 to view this horror caused by Israel. Of course, this is Bush's fault.
No Problem! Here comes your Bomb!
1) Man arrives with suitcase full of American toys and dismantles doll in pink dress.
2) Man carries dismantled doll, minnie mouse and teletubbie for placing in position.
3) Fauxtographers take pictures when props are in position.

They should be doing more to out the politically active terrorist element in their ranks, including WHO it was that sent death threats to LGF from Reuters.
