Ethical responsibilities for audio and visual files

I think that as a speaker you have an ethical responsibility to provide your listeners with accurate, unaltered information. It is unfair to your audience to show them photographs, videos, songs, or taped conversations that have been changed for your own purposes. As a speaker, the audience has no choice at that time but to take you at your word, therefore giving them false information is extremely irresponsible. Your ethical responsibilities include not using visual or audio files that have been physically changed, but you should also make sure that you are not showing extremely biased pictures. It is important to use visual and audio files that come from a credible source because otherwise the pictures may have been inaccurate even if you were not the one that physically changed. There may be certain circumstances that altering files is necessary. For instance, if the original images or songs were yours and there is a specific purpose for changing them, but you should tell your audience of any changes.
