Nobody does it better – The Boston Globe

You might not know it, but there is something very special about the Boston Globe.

I can’t say I’ve ever been drawn to the paper’s news content – in terms of America I tend to stick to my mainstream RSS feeds: New York Times, Washington Post a bit of Huffington (except its celebrity journalism – John Cusack sssshhh)

But then there is the Boston Globe’s The Big Picture – a stream that makes my newsreader glow with anticipation.

Surrounded by a website so scruffy it would put most UK weeklies to shame, sits some examples of the best photojournalism I’ve ever stumbled across

Simply, it’s beautiful, heartwrenching photography – no matter how happy, sad or obscure the subject they always go the extra mile and assemble a story in a way words could never even hope to compete with.

Here are a few of my favourite galleries from the past few weeks – have a look at add you favourites in the comments and i’ll add them to the roll.
