Pulitzer Prize Photography: Firing Squad in Iran

from Newseum Podcast

In 1980, the Pulitzer Prize was given anonymously for the first and only time in the award’s history. The Spot News Photography winner had captured a controversial image of an Iranian firing squad executing 11 prisoners, but the photo was published without his name for his protection. In 2006, the photographer’s identity was revealed and Jahangir Razmi finally received recognition as a Pulitzer Prize winner.
