But the Twitter link that really caught my attention this morning one to a Flickr page by André Gunthert which shows Paul Hansen’s photograph as it was published by his Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, on November 11, 2012, during the photograph’s live news cycle. Gunthert has published a side-by-side comparison of the newspaper’s original published image along with the one that earned top honors in World Press Photo’s contest.
