How a fake war photojournalist fooled media organisations worldwide
- CM30 9y agoThe BBC also wrote about this story (as did various other sites), but I feel the Mashable one give a bit more detail none the less. Either way, some other sources are as follows: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-41174069 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-41174069 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/05/war-photographer-eduardo-martins-survived-leukaemia-exposed-fake https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/05/war-photograph... https://www.wavelengthmag.com/wavelength-travel-writer-identity-stolen-fake-war-photographer/ https://www.wavelengthmag.com/wavelength-travel-writer-ident... Still, it's a good warning for media publications really. Vet your sources very carefully, since there are lots of frauds and charlatans out there, some of which are pretending to be respected photographers.
