BOP 2006 > Photo Editing Winners > Newspaper Natural Disaster Special Section
- Honorable Mention
- The Times Picayune
- Judges' Comments
For the judges it came down to comparisons between the entries that edited a selection of strong daily coverage versus special editions of sections that reviewed the disaster in some time frame or form.
The Times-Picayune’s coverage deserves a special recognition. This was one of the devastated hometown papers that continued to serve her readers publishing. Their images of a disaster, that was their own as well, tugged at the heart. Images, such as “power struggle” that showed the demarcation line in a night aerial were thoughtfully appropriate fro their readership. All of the Picayune’s images are by their own staff. Judges felt that the inclusion of more pictures, and from other sources would have benefited their readers.
