We've all ready talked about politicians seem to be particularly concerned about their image, who they're standing next to, or in some cases, the publication's decision as to who they're standing next to. In April 2009, the Israeli newspaper, Yated Ne'eman took out, of a collected photograph of the Israeli Cabinet, the two women members portrayed. It is put forward that this is a particularly Orthodox newspaper and was not in itself supportive of female members of the Cabinet. Nevertheless, for their own morals and for their own audience, they'd chosen to manipulate an image which was more inclusive than perhaps they thought editorially appropriate. Now continuing your theme of politicians, something that I found quite amusing, having a Glaswegian father and many of my relatives up in Scotland, a photograph, again, 2009, another collective photograph, in this case the Scottish National Party. What was described as an over enthusiastic party member had chosen to doctor the image, but not in an obvious way. In the background there were two pictures. One of William Wallace, the other of Robert the Bruce. Two great Scottish heroes. They had been digitally put into the image. The Scottish National Party leaders were in fact sitting in front of two photographs of the Queen and her husband, Prince Philip. There was a certain symbolism there that clearly that one or two of the workers thought was too great to allow to go unedited or unchecked. An apology was offered later. For 2010, foreign six give an example of another political image which had been doctored. This one seems to be quite a mundane reason but it's not the only example we find of this. The state run Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram, digitally altered an image which showed President Mubarak walking with Israeli leaders, those from the US, the Palestine and Jordan. What they did was move Mubarak so that he was at the head of that little posse, rather than walking behind them. Their argument was, they wanted to show figuratively Mubarik's leadership on matters of Palestinian issues even though the original composition of the photograph had him standing behind the other politicians. Now when it comes to identifying how close one politician is with a protester or another figure, the example I am going to give you from 2004 highlights a young senator, John Kerry, who ran for the American presidency in that year, in a photograph, standing next to Jane Fonda, who during the Vietnam War, became very outspoken about America's participation. The only problem is, they weren't actually there together at the same time. The photograph is a composite, showing, Kerry from 1971, in New York, and Fonda in Florida, in 1972. It's not just in the 70s, or the 80s, or the 21st century that who stands next to whom is important in political advertising. Here is a photograph from 1939. It shows the Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King standing next to the Queen Mother, Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. This doesn't look any terribly threatening image. Except the king. George the 6th had been removed from the image. It was an image which was used for publicity of Mackenzie King's re-election campaign. And it was felt that his stature, both physically and figuratively, was going to be in enhanced by standing next to the Queen rather than the Queen and her husband.
