This was one of the more interesting articles I've seen lately on the 'Vine, thanks for seeding it. Being a former 'news-photog', it especially appeals to me, and points out the problems in gaining and retaining the public's trust in the integrity of our images and information.

I Hope you don't mind, but I'm clipping this to a couple photography groups.
