Mark's Discussion Group

Being the moderator of a chat can be challenging but overall I feel the chat went well. We did manage to stay on the subject at hand and I received some interesting feedback. Most in the discussion seemed to feel the remediation of photography has been a good thing. Wart's can be taken off of a bride's nose and images can be sent more quickly to an editor. It almost seems as if manipulation of an image is becoming an accepted course of action in journalism. Many agreed that the truth has always been manipulated, even in film. My guess is the majority of the participants fell into the under 30 age group. I attempted to stress the re-learning part, someone like myself would have to do, but most of them probably grew up with a keyboard.
