Slain Indian photojournalist, 3 others get 2022 Pulitzer |
Slain photojournalist Danish Siddiqui and three of his colleagues from Reuters – Adnan Abidi, Sanna Irshad Mattoo and Amit Dave – were awarded the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in the Feature Photography category for their work on documenting India`s battle against the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Siddiqui, who also won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for Feature Photography for documenting the Rohingya Refugee Crisis, was killed last year while covering the war between Afghan troops and the Taliban in Kandahar city. His work on capturing images of funeral pyres of Covid-19 victims at mass cremation sites in Delhi last year had garnered widespread applause. Apart from this, he had extensively covered conflicts around the world. Apart from them, the Washington Post and The New York Times won the prize for Public Service Journalism and International Reporting, respectively.
