- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I really don't like this trend. I think there is value in having editors. I think there is value in vetting content (be it print or photo or video). The more we go to blogs, websites, content aggregators, free lancers to provide content, the more susceptible we are to content manipulation and distortion.
Well not saying this applies to Sports Illustrated per see, but considering how few media outlets there are out there that don't distort content anymore I don't really find this all that surprising. Not much value in "editors" that edit things to fit their point of view and vet things based more on bias than fact.
A quick note to the peanut gallery here, not making a political statement here and have no interest in a politically based discussion. But it should be noted that the standards applied by a lot of major media outlets are, well terrible. So I can't say as I'm terribly shocked that people would have less trust in such things and find them of less value than perhaps they did in the past.
