Second Hasidic newspaper drops Hillary Clinton and
Audrey Tomason
By Melissa Bell
Shmarya Rosenberg, the blogger at Failed Messiah who first wrote about
the doctored Situation Room photograph, has uncovered a second
altered photograph in a Jewish magazine.
De Voce, a weekly Brooklyn Hasidic magazine, has dropped Hillary
Clinton and Audrey Tomason from its pages, much as the Der Tzitung
newspaper did. The magazine does leave somewhat blurry lines to
suggest the photo was altered, as if a ghost Clinton still lingers, but the
females are nevertheless scrubbed from the room:

The Situation Room photograph in De Voce. (Failed Messiah)
In a statement, Der Tzitung said, “Because of laws of modesty, we are
not allowed to publish pictures of women.” Both magazines are Hasidic,
an ultra-orthodox form of Judaism. Yossi Gestetner, a PR consultant
within the Orthodox Jewish community, wrote in an e-mail that the
removal of Clinton has much less to do with women in power than it does
in keeping with the sense of full-scale modesty within the community.

However, many other people saw the incident as an example of the
religion’s supression of women. “Extreme discomfort with the presence of
women or even images of women is common to virtually all totalitarian
religious communities, regardless of the tradition involved,” Brad

The original Situation Room photograph. (Pete Souza/The White House)
Hirschfield, a Jewish blogger for The Post, writes.
Others took issue with the affront to journalistic standards. One reader on
my previous post about the photo manipulation cited a section the Code
of Ethics according to the Society of Professional Journalists. It reads:
“Never distort the content of news photos or video. Image enhancement
for technical clarity is always permissible. Label montages and photo
illustrations.”

Albert Friedman, editor of Der Tzitung, said that according to the editorial
practice of most Hasidic publications, it is a known practice to never run
images of women. Usually, the photographs are cropped to only show
men. “It’s clearly stated in our editorial,” he said via phone. Most other
Hasidic newspapers published only half the photograph, cropping Clinton
and Tomason from the image. His photo editor was “carried away with
the fog of victory,” and thought to experiment by photoshopping the
picture.

“In Israel, ultra-orthodox or haredi papers routinely refuse to show
women,” Michelle Goldberg writes at the Daily Beast. “A 2008 Jerusalem
Post story quoted someone from the community explaining, ‘Photoshop
works overtime in a haredi newspaper.’”
Friedman said the story mentioned Secretary of State Clinton in the write
up, though the article appeared on a separate page from the photograph.
He said it would be a one-time occurrence at the paper. They would stick
to cropping photographs, not photoshopping them. Women will still
remain off the pages of the paper. “It’s nothing negative connotation to
the women. My wife runs my paper. Without women where would be?”

night show:
