Global Picture Editor Tom Szlukovenyi called the measure precautionary but said the fact that two of the images by photographer Adnan Hajj had been manipulated undermined trust in his entire body of work.
"There is no graver breach of Reuters standards for our photographers than the deliberate manipulation of an image," Szlukovenyi said in a statement.
"Reuters has zero tolerance for any doctoring of pictures and constantly reminds its photographers, both staff and freelance, of this strict and unalterable policy."
Rueters realizes they have a problem, and are doing their best to fix it. Good job, thats the way a news agency should react when they have a problem, unlike the New York Times, or dare I say it, Dan Rather and the ENTIRE CBS News organization.

Yes, truth still means something to certain folks, otherwise, credibility is lost. This is why I do not watch any kind of CBS news for more than one second. I do watch ABC & NBC with the "Buyer or Watcher Beware" mindset.
People place to much faith in photography.
They say a picture is worth a Thousand words, and the captions help out a lot.
Mercy, do you watch 60 minutes?
