spot news

That coverage and those indelible images won Edmonds the Pulitzer for spot news photography.

A year later, Mr. Meyer shared in the Pulitzer Prize for local general or spot news reporting, which went to The Detroit Free Press for its coverage of the riot.

In 1952, he received second place for spot news in a White House News Photographers Association contest for a photo of a lumber yard fire in Arlington, Va. In a varied career, he captured political leaders on Capitol Hill as well as everyday Washington-area residents going about their lives.

Later in his career, Caulkin was part of an AP team that won the Pulitzer Prize for spot news photography for their coverage of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

If spot news occurs when I’m on vacation or out to dinner, I always have a quality camera to capture news.
