I'm absolutely thrilled to announce this picture has won World Press Photo of the Year—which is a hell of a title isn't it? Before I catch up to the incredible and deeply appreciated outpouring, I wanted to share some thoughts from Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc chief @RosanneCasimir

[Marsha Lederman @marshalederman]

Congratulations to Amber Bracken ⁦@photobracken⁩ who has won the World Press Photo of the Year. I spoke to her about this magnificent photo, her arrest, and much more. https://t.co/FmImLVtV9I

This incredible opportunity would not be possible for me or any Canadian journalists without the generosity of the Goodman family, in honour of Martin Wise Goodman—Nieman fellow of 1962 and Toronto Star President. Thank you!

[Lauren Goodman @lbg4]

"For Zeher, all that mattered was that Israel was bombing Gaza and kids were getting hurt—she wanted people to care.  So for her next track practice, she pinned a Palestinian flag around her shoulders.

Journalist Richard Medhurst could face years in prison if he refuses to hand over passwords for his electronic devices to the British police.

This is an obscene threat on journalism and the UK media has been totally silent on it.

@PaulSeesequasis I must be getting old because that’s so cool but also—where’s her helmet?!

[The Narwhal @thenarwhalca]

We asked Prairies photojournalists @photobracken, @GJohnJournalism, @leahhennelphoto and Tim Smith to reflect on their favourite pictures for The Narwhal in 2024.

See the photos they choose: some of our best on-the-ground work in the Prairies this year.

Hundreds of hours of surveillance invested in a vandalism case…against Duncan, a vocal EPS critic. This is disturbing.

I lost my job when Humanoid Origin closed so buy my indie game as part of the #SteamAutumnSale right now to cheer me and you up at the same time?! 😭💕
