And I have never had a problem with that. How is a photographer being selective in what the image shows different than the writer of the article being selective in the events presented? Have you ever read or heard of an article where in the middle of a paragraph the author sidetracks to "as the Mayor was finished commenting on the recent violence a piece of paper rolled across the ground in front of him where the wind picked it up in the air in front of the dais. It was a Macy's bag circa 1980. The chief of police then spoke in support of....."? Yet a photojournalist can't remove that bag from a photo that not only adds nothing to the reader's understanding but distracts the eye from the relevant parts of the image. There is a difference between removing relevant items like actual people from an image and editing the image to focus on what illustrates the story. It is odd. If one removes a piece of paper floating in the wind in the center of an image that is wrong and evil, but cropping the image to eliminate relevant but inconvenient content near the outside of the frame is perfectly fine.
