不合群的愛普西隆

today I read a report about photo manipulation.
It says that many newspaper used altered photos.
A few decades ago ,people thought " the camera doesn’t lie".
those days are gone, because digital photos can easily be altered today.
So , what is real?

The article says:since the demand for news isn’t gone away ,audiences will slowly shift theirattention
from news photos toward other media , such as blogs and internet.
It means those blogs and independent reporting on the website will carry weights in audiences’ mind.
However , I don’t think so .
Because there is no rules or codes of ethics in internet , people have the same opportunities to expand
their view as well as their bias.
I didn’t like photo manipulation once , but recently I accepted it .
I think many people adjust the color or brightness of the blogs’ photo to emphasize
something they want. There are a lot of atlerd photos in blogs , too .

State of Fear is the lasting offering from Micheal Crickton. This book addresses a real and controversial scientific issue, global warming. He used a lot of footnotes, sited many real papers and reports, and imaginary features (a self-important NGO hyping the science of the global warming, eco-terrorists… ) in the novel. He tended to point out that Climate Change is not a problem, but politicized science is. The novel has inevitablely raised many discussions on the internet and batween the scientists in the field of meteorology. Although it is not my first time learning about this view, I still don’t sure that global warming is true or it is a catastrophe of earth. I am really convinced by author’s insistence, politicized science is dangerous. I trust most scientists have the expience of writing a story,not a report. I mean most of published papers are stories. A story has drama. Unfortunately, the public are always convinced by those papers, which are believed being a truth. I highly recommanded this novel because it will actually teach you something valuable to know, especially for environmentalists.
