Tabloids and Misinformation
Tabloids have become a breeding ground for spreading misinformation through photography. Content creators, known as “treściarze,” manipulate images more skillfully to convince readers of their claims. The result is a widespread lack of trust in the reliability of information and an increase in fake news.
Effectiveness of Deception
The use of false photographs is becoming increasingly credible. With advancing graphic editing technologies, it is now possible to create images that are difficult to distinguish from originals. As a result, those who believe in the authenticity of fabricated information persist. Unfortunately, the issue of authentic artistic photography is becoming more problematic.
Preventing Deception
It is crucial for photo editors and journalists to be more responsible in their work. Verifying sources and the authenticity of images should be an integral part of the process of creating and publishing artistic photography. Special attention should be given to tabloids, which are often platforms for spreading fake news.
