Nancy Pelosi defends doctored photo of women in the new Congress, Friday, Jan 4. 2013<\/p>\n

As part of the festivities marking the first day of the 113th Congress, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi organized a photo op on Thursday with female Democratic lawmakers on the Capitol steps to mark the historic number of women in the new Congress.<\/p>\n

Temperatures that morning were below freezing, and after several minutes of waiting atop the frigid marble for latecomers, Pelosi had the official picture taken without four members. But when her office released the photo<\/a>, all the women in the party appeared. A Pelosi spokesman attached a message to the picture, noting it had been altered to add lawmakers who arrived late.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>Canadian Media Hoaxed By ‘Tsunami’ Photo<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Mark Fitzgerald<\/span><\/span>

Published: January 03, 2005<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CHICAGO<\/b> It was easily the most dramatic photo of the many to emerge from the Indian Ocean tsunami, and the Calgary (Alb.) Herald gave it the kind of front-page play it deserved. The image dominates the page in the same way the massive, cresting wall of water appears poised to overwhelm the people scurrying in the path beneath it.

But almost immediately questions arose. For one thing, it looked nothing like any other images of the tsunami replayed constantly by the global media. One man appears in the photograph appears to be laughing. “Something wrong here,” read the heading when it was e-mailed to E&P.

The Herald credit line on Dec. 30 read, “Photo courtesy of Dr. Joseph Edison,” referring to the executive director of the Calgary-headquartered World Food and Job Bank. But in the age of ubiquitous tourist cameras, the fact that it was not circulated by a news organization would not necessarily raise any red flags.

As it turned out, though, the image Edison provided did not come from the tsunami. Instead, it shows a huge wave that resulted from a tidal surge in the Qiantangjiang River in China. The photo dates back to September 2002.

In a front-page item headlined “Apology” that ran the next day, Dec. 31, the Herald acknowledged the photo was not of a tsunami wave. “The media were incorrectly told this photo, along with others provided by the Calgary-based World Job and Food Bank, was from the recent tsunami disaster in south Asia,” the Herald story read in part.

“Several media outlets, including the Calgary Herald, Global news and CFCN TV used the photos,” the story added.

Herald Photo Editor Peter Brosseau declined to comment to E&P about the photo, directing a reporter to the Web account. Edison could not be reached immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

In 1994, shortly before the much-anticipated women’s figure skating competition at the Olympics, New York NEWSDAY published on its cover a photo composite. The image showed ice skating rivals Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding — at the time embroiled in controversy following an attack on Kerrigan by an associate of Harding’s husband — appearing to practice together. On the bottom of the image, the headline read, “Tonya, Nancy to meet at practice.” The caption — in smaller type — read: “Tonya Harding, left, and Nancy Kerrigan, appear to skate together in this New York Newsday composite illustration. Tomorrow, they’ll really take to the ice together.”<\/span><\/div>\n
