Since 1955, the annual World Press Photo contest has set the standard in visual journalism. The World Press Photo 2017 yearbook brings you the winners—the most striking images and compelling stories from 2016. Selected from 80,408 pictures taken by 5,034 photojournalists and documentary photographers from 126 countries, the prize-winning pictures are presented in a moving, sometimes disturbing document of the best visual journalism of the year.
