"Reflexiones de un Año Impactante: 13 Momentos Destacados de 2024 - The New York Times"

En un año caracterizado por guerras, fenómenos meteorológicos extremos y una maldad generalizada, muchos despachos adoptaron un tono marcadamente sombrío. Sin embargo, a medida que nuestros corresponsales recorrieron el mundo, también descubrieron rincones de esperanza y luminosidad.

With major conflicts raging in multiple regions of the world, it is no surprise that many of 2024’s best dispatches — articles focused on a sense of place and people’s lives — were filed from battle zones. Our correspondents showed both the toll of the violence and how everyday citizens are responding to it — from the streets of Kyiv to the hills above Beirut to the jungles of Myanmar.

War’s devastation and deprivation was hardly the only dark theme explored in dispatches this year. Natural disasters, too, demanded up-close coverage, and our reporters, surmounting daunting obstacles, arrived on scene soon after the destruction to document rescue and recovery efforts, from the muddy streets of the flooded Spanish town of Paiporta to the East African island of Mayotte, where a cyclone leveled whole neighborhoods.
