Surveying forty years of news photography at Reuters, this publication captures the very best of photojournalism, bringing together pictures and texts to tell the stories behind iconic news imagery.
Founded in London in 1851, Reuters mission is to present to the world the news that matters. Its photographers deliver over 1,500,000 photographs every year, priding themselves on being first on the scene. For close to four decades, Reuters photographers have captured evocative images to document events at speed. They have received numerous awards over that time, including a 2024 Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography of the Israel–Hamas war.
Extensively illustrated with around 500 photographs, and divided by decades starting from the 1980s, In the Moment weaves together timelines and stories offering a visual account of 40 years of Reuters photography. Reuters photographers dedicate themselves to covering major news events around the world, often at enormous personal sacrifice. At a time when trust in journalism is eroding, their role is more important than ever. This timely publication draws on revelatory first-person texts from the photographers themselves, capturing not simply life behind the lens, but what it means to bear witness to history.
Offering an unrivalled insight into the workings of an agency that has long been at the centre of global events, In the Moment is a testament to the power and value of news photography.
