Lens: The Best Photos From the 76th Pictures of the Year International

The New York Times’s visual investigations team was awarded first place in the Documentary Project of the Year category for a selection of videos titled “Visual Forensics,” for which Mark Scheffler was the executive producer and Malachy Browne was the senior producer.

“This award is a reflection of The Times’s commitment to investing in innovative storytelling — the kind that has allowed the video unit to build an industry-leading open-source investigative team,” said Nancy Gauss, The Times’s executive director for video. “Time after time, this team set the record straight, exposed government deceit and set a standard for transparent and explanatory storytelling. This is a new form of investigative journalism that combines traditional reporting with the forensic analysis of videos, photos and satellite images, and 3-D crime scene reconstructions. The team’s commitment to uncovering the truth through deeply reported visual stories is something we are all really proud of.”

In the Documentary Journalism category of the multimedia division, ProPublica won first place for “Unprotected,” produced and directed by Nadia Sussman and Kathleen Flynn with the reporter Finlay Young. The New York Times took second place for the “‘It’s an Act of Murder’: How Europe Outsources Suffering as Migrants Drown.”

National Geographic swept all three places in both the Magazine/Media Visual Editing award and the Magazine/Media Visual Editor of the Year award, with Kurt Muchler winning both categories.

Mr. Furticella of The Times also received first in the Newspaper Visual Editing category.

April Saul took first in General News for an image of a shooting victim, and Tyler Hicks, a Times staff photographer, took second for a photograph of Amal Hussain, a malnourished 7-year-old Yemeni girl who later died. Stuart Palley of The Los Angeles Times won first place in Spot News, and Demetrius Freeman, a freelance photographer for The New York Times, received first in the Daily Life category.

Antonio Faccilongo of Getty Images Reportage won the World Understanding award, and Adrees Latif of Reuters took first in the Community Awareness award.
