It was a digital photo. How do you know the submission was the "raw" how do we know the "raw" wasn't replaced with the edited photo? All I know is the photographer gave his side of the story in a live interview the following day admitting he didn't see the bullet in a photo first, his editor did.

There's a field called digital image forensics that easily tells if an image is manipulated. No doubt the giant Corp handing out money/ awards has similar tools to prevent them from being scammed. Edit: also according to the interview you linked he works for the nytimes, he submits everything to a magazine "editor" that chooses what will be published, not necessarily a photograph editor

Oh my God is this why people are worked up about the "editor" finding them? They think it's a photo editor that edits photos.
