During the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, the trial of Bosnian Serb Goran Jelisic exposed a complex and confounding story revolving around the photographers who captured one of Jelisic's executions. The image of a man being gunned down on the street in Brcko, Bosnia, in 1992 grabbed the world's attention and ended up winning the 1993 World Press Photo awards Spot News prize. Barbara Matejcic's yearslong investigation reveals how there is often much more to an image than meets the eye. Through archival research and numerous interviews, Matejcic's Killing for a Photograph, which won the 2026 European Press Prize Special Award, does more than report on the horrors of war; it questions journalistic motivation and responsibility, a topic that resonates today in our era of fake news and AI-generated imagery. This is the definitive English-language translation, which includes additional unpublished writing by Matejcic, as well as an introduction by renowned war correspondent Janine di Giovanni.
