\n <\/em>\n <\/p>\n

Javier Manzano, a freelance for Agence France-Presse, was awarded the $10,000 honour for a photo he took as part of a series in Aleppo, last October.<\/p>\n

The citation described Manzano’s image as \u2018an extraordinary picture… of two Syrian rebel soldiers tensely guarding their position as beams of light stream through bullet holes in a nearby metal wall’.<\/p>\n

Manzano, who was born in Mexico and is currently based in Turkey, has also covered conflicts in Mexico and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

The Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography was also awarded for coverage of the troubles in Syria.<\/p>\n

The honour went to Rodrigo Abd, Manu Brabo, Narciso Contreras, Khalil Hamra and Muhammed Muheisen of the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Manzano also works as a video journalist for newspapers, TV and digital media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
