'OUR PHOTO IS GENUINE' - THE NATION

The Nation has printed a front page clarification today after claims emerged that it had doctored an image from the anti red shirt rally on Friday.
Claims that the image was fake and had been Photoshopped appeared on the Thai language forum Pantip and on CNN's user generated and unverified content website iReport. The 'story' on CNN's website now appears to have been removed.
It does appear that a doctored image, exaggerating the number of people at this protest, exists but no media outlets have so far published it.
In its clarification The Nation says: ".. When it comes to Thailand's political crisis, we have made extra efforts to ensure there is no distortion or misinformation about the fragile situation Nothing was doctored. There was no alteration whatsoever. We showed the photos as they had been taken."
As well as publishing the clarification in its newspaper and online, The Nation has also published the statement on its Facebook and Twitter pages.
