Letter of Thanks from Maria Mann POSTED FRIDAY MARCH 29 I offer sincere thanks to all of the volunteers who did such an extraordinary job at the NPPA Best of Photojournalism judging at the Poynter this past week. You were ultra professionals, full of enthusiasm, very resourceful and extremely kind to us all. I wish to convey my sincere appreciation for your considerable contribution to the success of this contest judging Prize Photo Stirs Ethical Debate POSTED WEDNESDAY MARCH 27 The National Press Photographers Association gave a top award to a previously unpublished, highly sensitive photograph last week, setting off a controversy over publishing standards on various platforms. On March 27, NPPA released a digitally manipulated version of the prize photograph on its website. The image shows a woman being sexually assaulted during the violent culmination of Mardi Gras in Seattle last year. NPPA 'Kids Choice' Award POSTED FRIDAY MARCH 22 The NPPA Best of Photojournalism Contest judges received a little extra help with their duties from a few budding photographers on Wednesday. A group of youngsters participating in a photojournalism mentorship program at the Tampa Housing Authority visited The Poynter Institute to mingle with their older colleagues. The students are enrolled in "Focus on Mentoring," a community-based program designed to introduce students to the world of photojournalism. After the professional judges evaluated "The Arts" category on Wednesday, the students viewed the images and offered their opinions. Print,
