Abstract
A fotografia começou a ser usada pelos jornais diários em 1904 com um atraso de mais de vinte anos em relação às revistas ilustradas. Quase um século após essa publicação e da genial frase “Embora as fotografias não possam mentir, os mentirosos podem fotografar”, proferida por Lewis Hine, fotógrafo americano que denunciou a exploração do trabalho infantil em seu país, o conteúdo dessa afirmação perpetua no dia a dia do fotojornalismo mundial acompanhado de problemas éticos nas edições, cortes, manipulações e adulterações inclusive montagens nos meios jornalísticos, mas nunca com tanta frequência como agora, resultados dos avanços tecnológicos, em que essa prática se torna mais fácil e comum, interferindo na credibilidade e destruindo a memória do século XXI.
