The photo-shopped front page photo


The Editor in Chief of the Guyana Chronicle will soon be proceeding on leave subsequent to a decision by the Board of Directors.
The Editor in Chief, Nigel Williams was found responsible for the publishing of a doctored photograph of President David Granger in the National Park.
As explained, the imaged was photoshopped to remove two Afro-Guyanese children replacing them with photos of two Amerindian children.
In a published apology, the Guyana Chronicle said its “intention was to show the President at two different scenes mingling with Guyanese. It is regrettable that a photo-shopped image was used instead of a composite photograph.”
However, at a meeting with the board of Directors and the Editors on Tuesday, blame for the error was laid sqarely at the feet of Williams.
It is understood that while Sunday Editor Neil Marks would have approved the publishing of one photograph, that decision was overruled by Williams.

Hence the disciplinary action will be taken against him.
When contacted, Chairman of the Board Jean La Rose did not confirm that Williams would be suspended nor did she deny.
She said “I can’t give you any information now.” However sources within the entity have confirmed that Williams will soon be proceeding on suspension.
Efforts made to contact Williams on the suspension proved futile.

This is the friggin (pardon my French) problem I have with these media houses. Here is a doctored picture and one can also ask, "where are the Indians?" This would have gone unnoticed.

If this and the previous government were serious about racial unity we would not have to be doing this nonsense.

The Granger govt came to office saying that this is one of their goals....well we still waiting to see what they will do to unite people...and stop pretending that "everytin all wright".

But was he trying to "enhance" the image of Granger?

Yes...maybe he should have photoshop the photo of Granger instead 

On a serious note, they pretend like the race problem has been solved...,and all awe are one

This is a poor utilization of a collage to illustrate the person being in multiple places. Poor execution is not cause for criticism for deviousness. It was simply poor execution. It is clear the person was not being devious. The person truly had the ability to morph the two pictures. They instead left a black line to indicate the images are from different sources but that is not how you do it.

Bit by bit you are compromising your morals as you continue to make excuse after excuse for blatantly wrong actions. You have painted yourself into a corner and now have to cover up one lie with another.  But no worries, you will have ample time to ponder the error of your ways behind that dollar store counter, a prison for such a tormented soul.

that is your interpretation. The man had a story and it matched. There was nothing wrong even you can devise. You folks are just yammering because you can and have nothing better to do. You can ponder my dollar store as it suits you. I have nothing to do with your presumptions out of ignorance. It is what you do.

Food for thought, would you have taken taken the same position if the PPP were in power and Ramoutar or Jagdeo was the president with photo shopped pictures of blacks?
