CBC: Hues Of The News Posted by Kate April 20, 2007 12:13 AM small dead animals blog Set aside for a moment the journalistic misrepresentation on display in using a photo depicting air pollution to illustrate a story on the costs of meeting Kyoto mandated C02 reductions... There's a little more than lack of scientific accuracy going on here. Reader "JRB" wrote, wondering if there was evidence of photoshopping. My initial reaction was "no". But then I noticed the file name (top-kyoto2.jpg) ends in the numeral "2". Now, I know what it means when I add a "2" to a file name, so I removed it to see if anything came up. How about that? It's an uncropped version of the same photograph, the difference in overall hue impossible to miss. A little extra searching reveals that CBC used the blue-toned image in a similar formats here and here. cbc.ca cbc.ca So, with two dramatically different versions before me, the evidence that one has been altered is clear. Therefore, I think it's fair to ask - who at CBC news made the decision to "dirt enhance" the image that accompanies the item on John Baird's report? And why? Update - CityNews has footage of the smokestacks being demolished in 2006. An unenhanced photo of the same site in July of 2005 (taken by reader andycanuck). all relevant links found here smalldeadanimals.com
