We were struck by the fact that these were all stories from the past, recreated in different ways. There was very little entered in this category that was current, documentary journalism. Photojournalism has always been challenged to illustrate a story thats already taken place. People are taking advantage of video to tell these stories in different ways which is great but, it would be nice to see more entries with original, current photojournalism.
