- Judges' Comments
For the judges it came down to comparisons between the entries that edited a selection of strong daily coverage versus special editions of sections that reviewed the disaster in some time frame or form.
Katrina coverage from the Palm Beach Post showed a continually strong daily coverage of the hurricane, as it first hit Florida then went on to devastation Louisiana and Mississippi. Though it must be said that their was great dismay over the crop of James Neilsen’s amazingly storytelling image of the body floating beside the bridge while the woman on the bridge fed her dog. That singular cropping decision almost knocked the entry off the board.
