A collection of photographs which have won the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography from 1961 to 2007. The collection has 27 photos and obviously don't have all winner photos. Pulitzer prizes for press phtography are given in two categories: Breaking news photography and Feature phptography. More info can be obtained from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulitzer_Prize

In the later years, the award is mostly given to a collection of photographs covering a story rather than a single one. In such cases I chose the photo which I found most appealing for various reasons. For example, while the photo of a medical technician weeping at the funeral of his collegue who died in the 9/11 (2002) was chosen for its deep emotion, the photo of a dog feeding on a human corpse in New Orleans (2006) was chosen for its shock value.

However a collection of award-winning photos can be found in the Pulitzer prizes official site: http://www.pulitzer.org/

  • is this prize only for US-related incident or world incident?

  • @KaKaGaNu Its awarded to US papers, but the photos could be from anywhere.

  • can someone explain that failed coup in russia

  • an attempt by a group of members of the Soviet Union's government to take control of the country from Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. The coup leaders were hard-line members of the Communist Party. the coup collapsed in only three days and Gorbachev returned to government.

  • do some googling for more info. the above text is from wikipedia.

  • the 1994 pulitzer is wrong... the winner was Kevin Carter with the famous vulture and child photo

  • In 1994 Carter did win a Pulitzer. But that was for feature photography. This video contains winners of breaking news category, as it is mentioned at the start. I suggest u do some research b4 u brand something as wrong.. :)

see all
