Interesantísimos comentarios del secretario del jurado de World Press Photo 2014.

Por cierto de nuevo una polémica en torno a la fotografía ganadora. El presidente del jurado es el fundador de la agencia VII Photo y el ganador John Stanmeyer pertenece a la misma agencia.

Mr Knight said that although he had asked to be removed from the final judging because of his friendship and professional relationship with Mr Stanmeyer, the World Press rules did not allow for it. He emphasised that at every level there was complete transparency. “If anything,” he said, “I was a hindrance for John getting the award, not a help.”
