Visa Pour l'Image: First Visa d'Or announced

Author:

Olivier Laurent

The first Visa d'Or has been awarded yesterday evening in Perpignan, France.

The US newspaper Dallas Morning News received the Visa d'Or of the international daily press at the 20th Visa Pour l'Image festival.

The Dallas Morning News received the award, as well as €8000 from the French railway company SNCF, for its report The Bottom Line written by Mona Reeder.

In The Bottom Line, Reeder explored, using images, Texas' poverty and other poor rankings in a series of subjects such as environmental protection and immigration. Earlier this year, the reportage won other prestigious awards such as the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism prize for domestic photography or the Community Service Photojournalism Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors.

Check back later today and over the week-end for more news from Visa Pour l'Image.
