Questions Raised About Vietnam War Photos – The New York Times

Writing on his Mayday Press blog, the photographer Jorn Stjerneklar raised the issue of the previous book by Mr. Niven and discovered the manipulation of several images. A subsequent investigation by the New York Times Lens blog, including interviews with several North Vietnamese photographers and image analysis by Hany Farid, a professor at Dartmouth who specializes in photo forensics, confirmed that two images (slide one and the inset here) were digitally altered in a way inconsistent with New York Times standards. Corrections have been added to the original post.
