  World Press Photo Award-winning picture is found to be significantly retouched, "cleaning" dirt from faces of dead kids and adding light and shadows in Photoshop. Picture happens to be of Gaza men mourning dead children in their arms, likely as result of some Israeli military action. I believe the main argument is entirely about photography: clearly composition was great on its own, but lighting was heavily edited; when is a picture still a picture, so to speak? It's an important question for photojournalists and their awards. Whether this overlaps with the customary Israeli pushback on this sort of material, I honestly don't know.
