Iranian Photographer Kaveh Golestan, who has risked his life and freedom to cover Iran's revolution for TIME, received the O.P.C.'s Robert Capa Gold Medal. The award for best photo reporting from abroad went to David Burnett for pictures taken mostly on assignment for TIME. Burnett was also named Magazine Photographer of the Year in the University of Missouri/National Press Photographers Association competition and won the organizations' newsmagazine first prize for his photo of a Cambodian refugee mother and child. (The same photo was chosen Press Photo of the Year in the 23rd World Press Photo Contest...
...LIFE, the magazine that practically invented photojournalism. From the war's prelude in Spain to the Japanese surrender nine years later, the magazine's photographers provided the images that alerted and moved a nation.

It is a culmination of years of effort by Capa to get museum exposure for such doyens of the document as Lewis Hine and Andre Kertesz, together with Capa's contemporaries and friends, some prematurely dead: David Seymour Dan Weiner, Werner Bischof, and Capa...
