Place Name: First Place Contestant Name: The Virginian-Pilot Entry Title: Slideshow or Gallery Entry Credit: Photo Staff Judge Comment: This news photojournalism staff is hard working and everywhere. This entry has news, sports and feature representation that is all performed in the spirit of the daily photojournalism report. The baseball gallery is clean and storytelling, incorporating the tight face of fan full of emotion, the weather, the stadium and player reaction. An excellent example of telling the story of the game. The tornado gallery has another level of complication as the photographer has some limited access but works to find good visual variety. The visual variety continues to be key as the Saltwater Cowboys move the Chincoteague ponies. The photographer finds themselves on the beach and in the mud as the day’s picturesque events unfold.
