Journalist Mayara Paixão welcomed the results: “The prize was a pleasant surprise. Apart from the recognition, it’s an opportunity to bring together people who understand the importance of humanitarian coverage and its challenges, with a shared purpose.” As a photojournalist, Lalo de Almeido finds working on this kind of report frustrating: “Because the story is huge, the drama of the people is immense, and photos can only show a tiny part of this. And that’s why the prize is so relevant. In addition to conferring recognition, it brings the story to the attention of a wider audience and gives it a longer life.”
