Reuters wants only in-camera JPGs...

...because anything processed from a raw file is less authentic:

There is some merit to their argument that turnaround time can be faster, but the authenticity argument doesn't hold up at all, IMO. JPGs out of the camera are just as prone to manipulation as JPGs produced from raw files. If anything, it's easier to establish what modifications have been made when you can compare the JPG to the original raw file.

They're worried about post processing and thinking that you can do less to the JPG before it becomes visually evident the image was altered. In other words, this is "theatre ethics" in action.

I agree. Can't I be considered as smart as the camera?
