Newspaper Photographer of the Year
Damon Winter, The New York Times
New York Times staff photographer Damon Winter won the prestigious Newspaper Photographer of the Year award. Winter was on the front lines of two of the year's biggest stories: the war in Afghanistan and the earthquake in Haiti. His photo essay about one battalion's experiences in Afghanistan also was honored in the category of Newspaper Feature Picture Story. In 2009, Winter won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography for his coverage of Barack Obama's presidential campaign.
