fauxtography
noun [foːˈtɒɡɹəfi]|/fəʊˈtɒɡɹəfi,foːˈtɑɡɻəfi]|/fəʊˈtɑɡɻəfi/
Misleading presentation of images for propagandistic or otherwise ulterior purposes, involving staging, deceptive modification, and/or the addition or omission of significant context.

Also, fauxtography, coined by bloggers writing about the Israel–Lebanon conflict in summer 2006 to describe both the deceptive modification of pictures by newswire photojournalists and the intentional staging of tragic scenes for propagandistic photos in the media.
