    as someone with a master's degree in photojournalism, i'd say i'm partial to the photographer's POV here. not only does he have a valid point, but it's against journalistic standards to really do what newsweek did. it is blatant editorializing and using the picture out of context like that is pretty lame.

    however, this shit happens all the time. it's not the photographer's fault, and this has nothing to do with rights and licensing. it's an editorial board decision, and a shitty one.

    • At one point in time, the former VP was cutting a steak. This was photographed, sold and then printed. That is the result of the picture taken.luckyorphan
