TRUTH. AUTHORSHIP. INTEGRITY. REDEMPTION.

"The World Press Photo of the Year in 1973 was awarded to Associated Press photographer Nick Út for the photograph ‘The Terror of War'. However, this attribution has now come under serious question.

"New research by The VII Foundation revealed in their January 2025 documentary, ‘The Stringer’, asserted that Nick Út is not the author of this photograph. This prompted deep reflection at World Press Photo and a subsequent investigation between January and May 2025.

"Investigative analysis from this report indicated that, based on analysis of location, distance, and the camera used on that day, photographers Nguyễn Thành Nghệ or Huỳnh Công Phúc may have been better positioned to take the photograph, rather than Nick Út. Due to this current doubt, World Press Photo has suspended the attribution to Nick Út.

"Importantly, the photograph itself remains undisputed, and the World Press Photo award for this significant photo of a major moment in 20th-century history remains a fact. Only the authorship is suspended and under review. This remains contested history, and it is possible that the author of the photograph will never be fully confirmed. The suspension of the authorship attribution stands unless it is proved otherwise."
