Auburn Gresham, a Black community in Chicago, has written its own grim chapter, enduring a deadly virus, economic misery and gun violence, a constant state of turmoil that mirrors the tumult afflicting much of urban America.

Feature Picture Story
An image of veteran Constance “Kandy” Pinard is projected onto the home she grew up in with her sister, Tammy Petrowicz, left, and brothers, Paul, center, and Brian Driscoll in Florence, Mass., Thursday, May 14, 2020. Pinard, a nurse in the U.S. Air Force and resident of the Soldier’s Home in Holyoke, Mass., died from the COVID-19 virus at the age of 73. Pinard had a life with struggles: A marriage gone sour, the pressures of raising two children on her own, family rifts that grew worse with an aggressive case of dementia. But there were so many joys, too: The miles she drove in her Jeep or flew in the air to reach new places as a travel nurse, the rank of captain she achieved, the thrill of meeting Barry Manilow, the musician she loved. Her sister Tammy Petrowicz remembers a woman overflowing with energy like the Energizer Bunny, who was 16 years older but still could run circles around me. David Goldman/Associated Press

A Global Pandemic: COVID-19 PICTURE STORY
Special units of firefighters and E.M.T.s in Paterson, N.J., respond to 911 calls for suspected coronavirus, entering homes and putting themselves at risk. The grueling day offered a glimpse into the chaotic, risk-filled lives of emergency workers who are reaching directly into the jaws of the pandemic. “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’d almost rather go to a fire call,” said Brian Hirschmanner, a firefighter and E.M.T. “At least you can see what you’re fighting. And it eventually goes out.” But after almost one year, COVID-19 is still taking thousands of lives everyday, without an end in sight. Paterson Firefighter/EMT, Steve Fatovic, investigated the situation talking to a family member of the suspected PUI (Patient Under Investigation) calls in Paterson during Coronavirus Pandemic in Paterson, NJ, on March 24th, 2020. He rushed and left his medical bag that had his Hazmat Suit at the fire house and had to wear a paper suit which ripped later. Chang W. Lee/The New York Times

Feedback: We gave it first place because it felt like a fresh take on a well worn story, like dropping in on a series of candid, calm conversations about something we’re used to seeing in a highly charged way. It was also well edited and structured in a clever way.
2nd Place – WHY THEY MARCH Jeffrey Basinger/Raychel Brightman – Newsday
Feedback: Well done story using lots of footage from different marches woven together into a cohesive story. It was smartly structured and edited to tell a story of protest in a new way.
It’s been 10 years since police began discovering bodies at Gilgo Beach. Investigators didn’t know it then, but the findings would open up a chapter in what has become the region’s biggest unsolved mystery: What happened to the 10 people that were found? Raychel Brightman /Newsday
Feedback: A great story that grabbed our attention and held it until the end. It also deserved first place because it took an event from the past, something that was not inherently visual and made it come alive. Excellent edit.
Feedback: A well reported, important story that somehow found a narrative arc and visuals in a story from the past. Great use of animation and motion graphics to make so many documents come alive.
Feedback: Great perspective and clever use of video diaries to gain access to a character who was inaccessible. It humanized a story that needs a face.
