I believe that there is an extent to which one should go with editing. A photojournalist should never ridicule, dishonor or disgrace a picture that has to do with important, emotional or touchy subject matters.
Bonus sentence using the words excessively and detect.
I excessively use my spyware blocker to detect viruses, because I fear my computer crashing.
Ethical rules should be situational, because a list of absolute rules cannot detail exactly what is okay in exactly every situation.
A photo can capture some of the truth, but it cannot speak because it's a picture, therefore, it is the photojournalist's great responsibility to explain the whole truth. This can be done in a caption or be read in a news bulletin.
