Favorite Photos And Illustrations Of 2019
This year NPR created and commissioned photographs and illustrations for stories focusing on politics to education to global health to national and international news. The Picture Show featured projects ranging from climate change to cultural identity to otherworldly portraits.
Illustrations captured student loan debt struggles, the effects of pumping in the trans community and how medical schools are teaching students to navigate pain management amid the opioid crisis. We commissioned a Web comic to illustrate how the U.S. military launched a cyberattack on ISIS.
Photographers met people fleeing Venezuela and a family trying to rebuild their home after the Camp Fire in Paradise, Calif. This year, NPR's Claire Harbage attended a camel beauty contest in Mongolia, met a Honduran family facing a difficult decision on the U.S.-Mexico border and visited a cattle ranch near a privately funded wildlife preserve in Montana.
Here is a look back at a collection of memorable stories from 2019.
