Newsweek’s Martha “Photo”

Posted by Eric at 9:00 am. Filed under: General

I ran across a blog today that I’d not seen before. It’s dedicated to photos in the news and there’s some interesting stuff there.

Check out this analysis of the Newsweek cover “photo” of Martha Stewart. Turns out that though the headline is “After Prison, She’s Thinner, Wealthier & Ready for Prime Time” the “thinner” body in the picture is not even hers.

In “damage control” interviews over the past 24 hours, Lynn Staley, assistant managing editor of Newsweek, says she thought it was obvious this image was not a photograph. She backs herself up by referring to the small print “cover credit” on the bottom of the Table of Contents page. (If you can find it, it obliquely cites one credit for a “cover illustration,” and another for a “head shot.”)

One commenter asks:

Is it me or is the body (whoever’s it is) missing everything from the waist down and stuck on a post?

If you look at the picture, it’s a great question.

Now, back to the important things in life…
