The World in Pictures: AP's most compelling images of the week

Every day, Associated Press photojournalists put themselves on the line, often in conflict zones and disaster areas, so you can see the world as it truly is. Their photos are acts of witness in a time of growing threats to free expression and press safety, and the spread of disinformation.

Supporting them means you help keep these visual journalists deployed, equipped and safe wherever the story takes them. 

Since 1917, AP photographers have earned 36 Pulitzer Prizes, bringing truth to light across the globe. 

Your contribution helps protects their independence in the most challenging places, allowing them to keep bearing witness for all of us.

Please consider donating to AP today to help us meet our $1 million year-end goal. 

With gratitude,  

Lucy Nicholson 

Global Director of Photography
