"HONG KONG - It turns
out that train tracks in Tibet aren't where the antelope
play.
Earlier this week, Xinhua, China's state-run news agency,
issued an unusual public apology for publishing a doctored
photograph of Tibetan wildlife frolicking near a high-speed
train.
The deception -- uncovered
by Chinese Internet users who sniffed out a Photoshop scam
in the award-winning picture -- has brought on a big debate
about media ethics, China's troubled relationship with
Tibet, and how pregnant antelope react to noise."
