Says Tomas, who is Photo Editor at La Prensa in Managua, Nicaragua: "The technology has changed but the rules have not.

Actually the ethical rules that govern photojournalism are at this point more important than ever.

As it becomes easier to manipulate images, it's the trust we have on the photojournalist abiding by these unbending and unchanging rules, that allows us to sell the message.

Altering images through digital means is just as unethical as posing a scene to be photographed.

As "people or citizen" electronic journalism continues to grow, the need for properly trained and educated photojournalists is higher since they are the ones that will guarantee that work is unbiased and true.

The recent Reuters image from Lebanon (see right) is just another example of a news agency relying on local photojournalists only to gain early access.

The price was tainted images that tarnished the reputation of the agency. As journalists, our credibility is our only asset. Once we lose that we have lost it all."
