Dartmouth College's Computer Science Department has an interesting story about digital tampering in the media, politics and law. A photo of Abraham Lincoln is discussed, as are photos of Adolph Hitler, Oprah, Mao Tse-tung and Katie Couric. The iconic image of the Kent State shootings was altered, as was a cover of National Geographic Magazine (though they insist that they no longer digitally manipulate images after the fall-out of said cover). Short, concise, interesting, with lots of visuals, it's a good piece for perusal and edification.
