Feature Photography

In 2023, a record-breaking number of migrants braved the harrowing journey to the U.S./Mexico border in hopes of being granted asylum in America. In this episode of the Pulitzer on the Road Podcast, we hear from three Pulitzer-winning journalists who covered different stages of this experience: 2024 Feature Photography staff contributors Iván Valencia & Gregory Bull and two-time Pulitzer-winning reporter Hannah Dreier.

“Technological innovations have made it easier to manipulate photographs and Pulitzer wants to ensure that we are honoring original work that has not been significantly altered,” said Marjorie Miller, administrator of the Prizes. “These changes reflect the best practices of photojournalism today, and are consistent with those of other journalism contests.”
