As 2020 brought a society-altering worldwide disruption, press photographers were able to document the monumental changes in every aspect of that "new normal." The Boston Press Photographers Association (BPPA) has shared the award-winning images from its annual 2020 Pictures of the Year Contest.
The Pulitzer Prize has officially revealed the winners for 2020. The prize for Breaking News Photography went to the entire Reuters photography staff for their coverage of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, while the prize for Feature Photography was awarded to Channi Anand, Mukhtar Khan and Dar Yasin of the Associated Press for their striking documentary photos of life in Kashmir.
The winners of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography and Feature Photography were announced last night, and both are prime examples of powerful photojournalism and visual storytelling. Neither photo essay is for the faint of heart.
