Melania Trump and the politics of airbrushing
Newspaper | Washington Post

Topic Tags | Instagram, politics, youth
Summary | The official portrait of the FLOTUS Melania Trump is highly retouched. Her face shows no wrinkles and looks artificial while her hair is perfectly in focus. While retouching is the norm nowadays, this particular portrait is just so obviously photoshopped that people are talking about it. It is really reminiscent of current photographing practices where one always slaps an Instagram filter on an image. This trend is being counteracted by some like Kate Winslet or Alicia Keys but the extensive retouching of images to achieve artificial perfection is accepted by large parts of the public.

Summary | A new breed of celebrities has emerged: social media celebrities or 'influencers' as they are called in marketing. These ordinary youths have millions of followers on Instagram, Snapchat, Musical.ly, or YouTube and are attractive to advertisers, not only because of their large following but because their fans feel personally close to them and are more likely to accept advice from them than from a distant celebrity. It is however still illegal to covertly advertise a product without notifying viewers that they are viewing sponsored content.
