El Nuevo runs doctored photo against photographer’s wishes

Filed under: Photojournalism

It’s a big day for photojournalism ethics. First Schneider, then this.

Two photographs were stitched together to make it look as though police were just standing around as several prostitutes in Cuba were flaunting their goods on an inside page of Miami’s El Nuevo Herald newspaper, the spanish-speaking child of the Miami Herald. Photographer Roberto Koltun objected to his two photos being used in this way, but apparently his concerns were disregarded. 

UPDATE: El Nuevo admits wrongdoing (Google translated page)
