AP severs ties with Pulitzer-winning photographer for ethics breach; NBCNews.com, 1/22/14

NBCNews.com; AP severs ties with Pulitzer-winning photographer for ethics breach:
"The Associated Press has ended its relationship with a freelance photographer after he alerted editors that he manipulated a photograph taken for the wire service. The photographer, Narciso Contreras, digitally removed a camera from the corner of the image above, taken during his time in Syria in September 2013. The AP responded to the incident in a blog post:
“AP’s reputation is paramount and we react decisively and vigorously when it is tarnished by actions in violation of our ethics code,” said Vice President and Director of Photography Santiago Lyon."
