When a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

Oded Balilty of The Associated Press has been awarded the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for news photography for this great photo of a Jewish woman defying Israeli security forces.

I am proud to say that I worked with or know three of this year’s prize winners. Only one news organization, the Wall Street Journal, won more than a single Pulitzer in what was the most diverse field of prize winners in my memory.

My buddy Will Bunch, who oughta win a Pulitzer some day, has more to say about this here.

And more here on the prizes.
