Prior to Martha Stewart’s release from federal prison last week, there was a lot of speculation about Stewart’s physical appearance after her time behind bars. But one magazine took the speculation a bit further. On its cover this week, Newsweek magazine features what appears to be a photo of Martha Stewart but is actually an image combining a photo of her face and one of a model’s body. An editor at the magazine said the idea was to portray Stewart as she may have appeared when she emerged from prison. The editor said that a credit on Page 3 with the table of contents of the magazine made clear that the image on the cover was a composite. Newsweek labeled it a “photo illustration.”
