From The Cable: Quote
A Reuters team of photographers consisting of four Indians, including the late Danish Siddiqui, were awarded a Pulitzer Prize last night for “images of Covid’s toll in India that balanced intimacy and devastation, while offering viewers a heightened sense of place”, according to the Pulitzer Prizes website. Meanwhile, the Indian government is desperately fighting the facts about the death toll. Lauren Frayer @lfrayer Ghastly scenes from 1 year ago this week. Those @Reuters photos shamed the Indian govt & showed the world what was happening here. With their @PulitzerPrizes, no one can call this fake news any more. Unquote. This is Danesh’s second Pulitzer after the one highlighting the Rohingya Crisis in 2018. He was killed while covering combat events in Afghanistan in 2021. Roland Toronto.
