“Capture the Moment: The Pulitzer Prize Photographs” is a hair-raising and historical collection of 118 award-winning photos that has toured the nation for more than a decade. The exhibition is currently on display at the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana. For more info on these, and other Pulitzer Winning Photos, please see the Pulitzer Home Page.
Context please? Posting random award winning photos is kind of lazy, don't you think? These didn't win because they were lovely photographs, it was the story behind them that made them award winners.
Seriously journalism is not just going to find a few pictures, caption them, or get off your backside and link them to an actual context. What could've been a really decent and interesting article has turned into just a bunch of pictures to years.
Go back out, and finish this article, then be proud to call yourself the creator of a good article.
I think the idea here is to remember why these photos were taken. These photos were taken during times of great emotion, and these photos were chosen as a prime example of that emotion to the viewer.
These are some amazing photos, but the lack of context is difficult... It also seems that some may be incorrect, as they differ from the descriptions provided at the Pulitzer website (http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Feature-Photography)

Shame there is no mention of what we are looking at or any kind of context.... Why not ?! I see these pictures and I want to know more.

tl;dr - Stop being ignorant.

this is absolutely pathetic. the pictures need context, you need context!
Could have at least cited the photographers...

It bothers me to the core that Kevin Carter didn't just pick her up and save her.
