#KeepItReal: Magazines Asked to Drop Photoshop
@Representpledge joined forces with @lovesocial, @sparksummit and @iamthatgirl to ask magazines to pledge to print one unphotoshopped picture per issue. Twitter responded.
Sparked by 14 yr-old Julia's campaign to @SeventeenMag, today begins a 3-day action asking mags to #KeepItReal. Info: on.fb.me/LmaC6h
Why #KeepItReal and include more unretouched photos in the media? Because representations of diversity matter for a positive body image.
I am asking mags to drop photoshop for one pic per issue. Join me? #KeepItReal bit.ly/keepitrealchal…- Twitter users have this handy list of magazines and their editors to help direct their tweets:

.@SPARKsummit we agree & so do our readers; loved these comments on our new survey re: women & retouching glmr.me/Oyg8WC #keepitreal- While an editor at USWeekly insisted that they had already eliminated photoshop:
Note to you #KeepItReal people - @usweekly does not show pictures of models, rather celebrities -- never photoshopped.
Dear @voguemagazine, @seventeenMag & @ELLEmagazine, we love you. But @DrDebNYC & I ask that u stop lightening black&brown skin. #KeepItReal.
So proud of the #keepitreal campaign bubbling up on Twitter today! Which mag will take the pledge to print 1 unaltered photo first?

Stop using Photoshop to promote skinny as ideal because I saw someone use "emaciated" as a compliment. #KeepItReal
@Cosmopolitan Plz use less photoshop! I am a 17yr old girl and I want to see REALISTIC women, not unattainable "perfection" #keepitreal
