- <div>Photography is an important means of disseminating both visual and verbal messages and its aesthetics plays an</div> <div>essential role in capturing the essence of an event and maintaining the attention of the audience. There is great concern</div> <div>about the ethical implications of the advanced technology that makes it easier for photos to be manipulated, thus</div> <div>making the public doubt the credibility of such photos. Therefore, this study examined the ethical and aesthetic</div> <div>considerations in photo-editing among Mass Communication students of ESUT and IMT, Enugu. Deontology and</div> <div>Aesthetic Pleasure Theories provided the theoretical foundation for the work. The survey method was adopted for the</div> <div>study and the population was 2,845, the total number Mass Communication students in both schools. A sample size</div> <div>of 340 was drawn using the online sample size calculator provided by Wimmer and Dominick (2013) through the</div> <div>systematic random sampling technique. Questionnaire served as the measuring instrument and the mean statistic was</div> <div>used in analysing the data. Findings from the study showed, inter alia, that to a moderate extent, ethical and aesthetic</div> <div>considerations were known and applied in photo-editing at ESUT and IMT Mass Communication Department photo</div> <div>studios. The study recommended, among other things, that photojournalism lecturers and photo editors should</div> <div>emphasise the ethical and aesthetic aspects of photo-editing to help students imbibe them fully and the institutions</div> <div>should acquire state-of-the-art technologies for photo-editing that can help the students to learn how to improve the</div> <div>technical qualities of pictures with ease without doctoring them to mislead the public</div>
