Conclusion
An image of Katie Couric, originally released in May by CBS, was slimmed down for reuse. The left photo is the official first-pic-of-Katie released by CBS. (TVNewser posted it in May.) The doctored photo on the right appears in the September issue of Watch magazine, which is owned by CBS, according to Mediabistro.com, which first reported on the alteration.

2. You have worked as part of a collective. Go to The Shallot blog. [Insert link to blog here]. Review the parody images and accompanying stories of your peers.
3. Your conclusion should include the following:
- An assessment of the best use of image manipulation for parody. Why did it work well? Did the student observe "fair use factors?" Did the student cite resources appropriately?
- Your own ethical reflection on the following questions:
- When is photographic manipulation acceptable?
- When is photographic manipulation not acceptable?
- Under what conditions should viewers or readers be notified that an image has been digitally altered?
- What are the social concerns relating to digital enhancement of photos and images?
- How does context affect our response to digitally-altered images?
- What are the copyright ramifications of combining existing images into a new image? Is permission needed from the creators of the original images?
- How will you continue to address these concerns in your own future work?
