North Korea 'digitally altered' marine landings photograph?
March 28, 2013
Amid rising tension in the Korean peninsula, North Korea doctored a photograph of a recent military exercise as part of its increasingly aggressive propaganda, according to media reports.
Experts are fairly certain that an image released by North Korea's state-run KCNA news agency showing a military exercise taking place on North Korea's east coast on March 25 was actually doctored.
'Excessive digital alteration' had taken place to show double the number of hovercrafts carrying out landing and anti-landing drills on a snow covered beach than that were actually present, The Telegraph reported.
The alleged doctoring was first spotted by Alan Taylor of the US website The Atlantic, the report said.
