WINNER
The New Yorker
David Remnick, Editor
Joanna Milter, Director of Photography
“A Safe Haven for Late Abortions,” photographs by Maggie Shannon, February 5 at newyorker.com, “A Campus in Crisis,” photographs by Nina Berman, May 13, and “Sorry I'm Not Your Clown Today,” photographs by Ryan McGinley, September 23

The New Yorker submitted three equally strong stories that showed a breadth and range of subject matter and style. With each example, the level of ambition and originality was unmatched. Finding new ways to capture fraught, or even fun, stories is a heavy task, but The New Yorker accomplished this goal in photo shoots documenting the workings of an abortion clinic, the protests at Columbia University and the appeal of Bowen Yang. Together the stories demonstrated outstanding visual achievement.
