Photo of the Year: News — Best of the Massachusetts High School Press 2017-2018

June 21, 2018

1. Nick Eddinger

The Sagamore, Brookline High School

Lindsay Wise and Marcella Anderson, advisers

Brookline High School junior Ellen Parry-Luff and senior Paria Reich hold each other a during speech.

Judge’s comments: “In a moment of distress, we are together” — this is the message Eddinger’s photo sends. The two students holding each other in the middle, while being surrounded by many others, exemplifies how a picture is able to tell multiple stories in the same frame. Photographing such an important and unique event also deserves praise from a photojournalistic perspective.
