Well before the year began, Associated Press journalists knew that surging migration through the Americas was a major story.
AP photographers, from left, Eduardo Verdugo, Marco Ugarte and Fernando Llano pose for photos after winning the Pulitzer for feature photography, for their images of the migration crisis, at the Associated Press office in Mexico City, Monday, May 6, 2024. Eight AP staff and freelance photographers, six from Latin America and two from the U.S.
“Simply put, this was AP at its best – leveraging our global footprint and deep expertise to cover a fast-moving story with high impact,” Executive Editor Julie Pace said in a note sent to the news staff Monday. “It’s also particularly heartening that the Pulitzers have recognized AP’s work on international migration given that this has been a global coverage priority for us for the past several years.
“I'd just like to thank people on the way, the migrants themselves ... the folks who allowed us to be with them in this tense moment of their life and allowed us, entrusted us to tell their stories,” Bull said in remarks to other AP staffers shortly after the award was announced. The photos were taken at several pivotal moments, including the end of pandemic-era restrictions last May that had allowed the U.S. to quickly turn away migrants and a large increase in border arrivals last September that overwhelmed immigration authorities and communities.
Other images show migrants crowded onto a northbound freight train in the middle of a Mexican night as it winds toward the U.S. border, and others in a makeshift camp of brush and branches near the U.S. border.
