Looking at the updated news today on CNN's site, I noticed how they distort their pictures to fit the headlining story. This picture showing "Dow's Wild Ride" shows how crazy the market has been just by looking at the image. The reader can get the feeling of what is happening just by looking at this warped image. It looked like it might have been shot with a fish eye lens or warped using Photoshop. I thought it was very cool that they not only lured you into the story with this headlining image, but made you feel a sense of what's going on with the economy through the use of imagery.

Its an interesting shot. Technically I think it is unethical and in some cases illegal for a news outlet to alter an image. My newspaper tries never to stage shots and does very little to alter them for print aside from the occasional color touch up and crop. But we are certainly seeing a lot of similar Wall Street shots in these past weeks. They are all very telling.
