Example sentence(s):
  • Un nouveau cas de « fauxtographie » a frappé, en mars, le World Press - Licence Pro Images & Histoire  
  • Il y a presque deux ans que j'ai écrit une analyse sur la façon dont Le monde a parlé du scandale "fauxtographie" dans la guerre du Liban, été 2006. - Augean stables  
  • A les croire, les cas de "fauxtographie", selon un néologisme typique d'Internet, éclaboussent l'ensemble de la profession au Liban : les photographes, manipulés ou manipulateurs, se livreraient à des retouches voire à des mises en scène pour donner une vision tronquée, pro-Hezbollah, voire antisémite, du conflit. - Guerre du Liban et "fauxtographies"
