The 22 award-winning entries for the annual Overseas Press Club Awards depict a world in which entire nations and millions of people have been torn apart by newly intensified forces of nationalism, extremism, disease and environmental degradation. Al Jazeera America, Los Angeles Times and The New York Times won multiple awards. The Robert Capa Gold Medal Award, which honors the best photographic reporting from abroad requiring exceptional courage and enterprise, was presented to Marcus Bleasdale, a global documentary photographer, for his work “Central African Republic Inferno” done on assignment for Human Rights Watch, Foreign Policy and National Geographic Magazine.
