TED prize winner and photojournalist breaks global news story visually



James Nachtwey is a photojournalist who won a TED prize to help him demonstrate the power of visuals. The TED prize offers "one wish the change the world" and for James, that means

“I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about. I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.”
The TED site also teases
James Nachtwey is preparing to reveal his photographs, which highlight a shocking and underreported global crisis. Over the past 18 months, the TED community have been working with James to gain access to locations he wished to photograph, and to prepare spectacular plans for unveiling these pictures.
So they've created the above embeddable link and the news story will go live on Friday. Check back here then.
