Photojournalism: Award-winning photos throughout the years
« on: August 13, 2012, 10:56:15 AM »
The World Press Photo of the Year is considered the most prestigious honor in photojournalism.  In order to win the award, a photo must represent an issue, situation or event of great journalistic importance.  It also must demonstrate an outstanding level of visual perception and creativity.  The tradition started in 1955 and continues today.  The Pulitzer Prize for Photography is another highly respected award.  It was handed out from 1942 until 1967.

In 1968, the honor was split into two separate prizes, the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography and the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography.

1942-1970

Water!
Photographer: Frank Noel
Year: 1943 Pulitzer



In January of 1942, photographer Frank “Poppy” Noel was covering British troops in Singapore.  The Pacific War was going badly and Japanese planes were beginning to bomb the city.  Noel had contracted malaria and was in the process of being shipped back to the United States when the freighter he was traveling on was hit by a Japanese torpedo.  The ship went down in the Indian Ocean and Noel managed to escape and board a life vessel with 27 survivors.

The group drifted aimlessly for five days in scorching heat.  During the disaster, a separate lifeboat of survivors approached the men explaining that they had lost their water supply in the rush to escape from the boat.  As they neared Noel’s boat one of the sailors reached out his hand and begged for water.  Sadly, they had none to offer.

Boy Gunman and Hostage
Photographer: Frank Cushing
Year: 1948 Pulitzer



In 1948, Frank Cushing was photographing domestic violence victims in Boston when he heard a police radio alert.  Two police officers had stopped a 15-year-old boy named Ed Bancroft to question him about a robbery that had taken place.  Bancroft pulled out a gun and shot one of the officers.  He then took 15-year-old Bill Ronan hostage and ran into a nearby alley.  Frank abandoned his assignment and went to investigate the scene.

He calculated which house would give him the best vantage point and knocked on a door.  The owner let him in and Frank made his way to the rear porch and took the photo that won him the Pulitzer.  Ed Bancroft was eventually knocked unconscious by an officer who had snuck up behind the fence.

Sinking of SS Andrea Doria
Photographer: Harry A. Trask
Year: 1957 Pulitzer



The SS Andrea Doria was an ocean liner in the Italian fleet, which was home ported in Genoa.  The ship is most famous for its sinking in 1956.  On July25, 1956 the cruiser was approaching the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts bound for New York City when it collided with the eastward-bound MS Stockholm of the Swedish American Line.  The accident would become one of history's most infamous maritime disasters.  The shortage of lifeboats might have resulted in significant loss of life, but improvements in communications and rapid responses by other ships averted a disaster similar in scale to the Titanic.

In all, 1660 passengers and crew were rescued and survived, while 46 people died as a consequence of the collision.  The evacuated luxury liner capsized and sank the following morning.  In 1957, Harry A. Trask won the Pulitzer Prize for his dramatic photographic sequence of the sinking of the SS Andrea Doria.  The pictures were taken from an airplane flying at a height of 75 feet, nine minutes before the ship sank.

Self-Immolation of Thích Quảng Đức
Photographer: Malcolm Browne
Year: 1963 World Press Winner



The Vietnamese monk Thích Quảng Đức sets himself ablaze in protest against the persecution of Buddhists by the government of President Ngo Dinh Diem.  He performed the act on June 11, 1963 at a busy Saigon road intersection.  After his death, his body was re-cremated, but his heart remained intact.  Thích Quảng Đức's act increased international pressure on Diệm and led him to announce reforms with the intention of mollifying the Buddhists.  The self-immolation is widely seen as the turning point of the Vietnamese Buddhist crisis which helped lead to the change in regime.

Cyprus Conflict
Photographer: Donald McCullin
Year: 1964 World Press Winner



A Turkish woman mourns her dead husband, who is a victim of the Greek-Turkish Civil War.  The Cyprus dispute is a conflict between Greece and Turkey over Cyprus, an island nation in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  Since the arrival of the British on the island of Cyprus, the "Cyprus Dispute" was identified as a conflict between the people of Cyprus and the United Kingdom as a colonial ruler.  The core of the dispute was the Cypriots' demand for self determination.  However, in modern times Britain has attempted to shift the "Cyprus Dispute" from a colonial dispute to a dispute between Turks and Greeks, although Britain has declared Cyprus as a British colony.  Major battles were fought in the area from 1963-1964.

Vietnam War Tank Commander

The commander of an M48 Patton looks through his lens.  This was the first color photograph to win the World Press Award.  During the Vietnam War an estimated 95,000 civilians died in the communist re-education camps, another 500,000 were involved in forced labor projects, which killed 48,000 civilians.  Another 100,000 South Vietnamese people were executed.   Finally, approximately 400,000 “boat people” died while trying to flee Vietnam. This makes a low estimate of 643,000 killed during the consolidation of communist rule.

The Troubles
Photographer: Hanns-Jörg Anders
Year: 1969 World Press Winner



The Troubles was a period of ethno-political conflict in Northern Ireland which spilled over at various times into England, the Republic of Ireland, and mainland Europe.  The duration of the Troubles is conventionally dated from the late 1960s to the Belfast “Good Friday” Agreement of 1998.  In this famous photo, an Irish Catholic man wearing a gas mask stands in front of a wall with the graffiti “we want peace.”  The picture was taken moments before teargas was thrown by British troops.

Campus Guns
Photographer: Steve Starr
Year: 1970 Pulitzer



On April 19, 1969, members of the Afro-American Society (AAS) occupied Willard Straight Hall at Cornell University to protest perceived racism and a poor black studies program.  Subsequently, white students from Delta Upsilon fraternity unsuccessfully attempted to retake the building by force.  After the fist fight, some of the occupying students left the building and returned with firearms.  The situation was eventually diffused by Cornell Vice President Steven Muller.  The photos of the students marching out of the Straight carrying rifles and wearing bandoliers made the national news and won a Pulitzer Prize for A.P. photographer Steve Starr.
