James Nachtwey to unveil “a story that the world needs to know about”

That is going to be a HUGE meme on the photography related blogs. 2 years ago, world renowed photojournalist, mainly know for his war photography, James Nachtwey was awarded the TED Prize. He was awarded “one wish to change the world”, a 100,000$ price that he used to cover a story of his choosing. Now, “James Nachtwey is preparing to reveal his photographs, which highlight a shocking and underreported global crisis”.

On October 3, the story breaks. Here

  1. Coming from Nachtwey, It has to something really big… and probably amazingly done too.

  2. Since he was awarded $100,000, how much is he paying for the blog adverts? (I jest) I am assuming you got the same e-mail I did requesting for free publicity on your blog.

  5. At this time the URL is still not published on the TED prize page, but the web site is now online at the following URL:

    http://www.xdrtb.org

    That web site, and the associated campaign, is the concretisation of Nachtwey’s wish.
