![As seen on the front page of BBC News, and indeed almost every UK paper this morning (although the Sky News gallery has some older editions that also don’t include it). (The Daily Mail probably mde the best use of it.)
If you look at the page for this entry, you’ll see it’s tagged ‘photograph of the year’. I’m not sure if it will be, but it feels like it might be a candidate, and I thought I’d try and start building up a list now.
I have fond memories of a BBC programme, Decisive Moments, that aired in the late ’90s, between Christmas and New Year, which covered the most memorable news photographs for the year, the photographers, and why the news editors picked that particular image. I wish someone would bring it back.
[Edit] Here’s a blog post from Reuters describing how their team got their photos (including the one above). It appears to have been taken by Gary Hershorn, “News Pictures Editor for North America”.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/rdI4dCBFkisaf6hdjnT9czAKo1_r1_500.jpg)
