The Adnan Hajj photographs controversy (also called Reutergate) involves photographs taken by Adnan Hajj, a Lebanese freelance photographer based in the Middle East, who had worked for Reuters over a period of more than 10 years. Hajj's photographs were presented as part of Reuters' news coverage of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, but Reuters have admitted that at least two were significantly manipulated before being published.• The second manipulated image was reported by the pseudonymous blogger "Rusty Shackleford" of the blog "My Pet Jawa".• The charges against Hajj took place within a larger context of many allegations about misleading photographs coming out of the Israel-Lebanon conflict; see 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict photographs controversies. These allegations included charges that Hajj also staged photographs, including images of a rescue worker retrieving the body of a child killed in Israel's bombardment of Qana.•
