misrepresentation

For TTG, “misrepresentation” is always judged — see P7 — by respected international news agencies’ information reportage standards (“rinairs”).

The concept of what is “misrepresentative” is an important one, because no photograph — no matter how doctored, undoctored, or aigmented it is — can perfectly “represent” a three-dimensional, real-word scene; it simply cannot be done.

In light of this limitation, rather than requiring a photograph to be a perfect “representation” of a real-world scene (which is impossible), in P7 TTG instead requires that a photograph not be “misrepresentative” (as judged by rinairs).
