About "The Week in Pictures" and "The Week in Sports Pictures"
MSNBC.com's "The Week in Pictures" made its debut Oct. 16, 1998. "The Week in Sports Pictures" launched on October 25, 2002. Our goal is to create an outlet for the best photojournalism. We hope to publish pictures that will affect our readers, make them feel the emotions behind the news and sports, and help them better understand our world.

These slide shows also serve as a historical record of events that change the course of history as well as unique, slice-of-life moments from around the globe.

Each week, MSNBC.com multimedia producers review more than 20,000 images to make the initial selection for "The Week in Pictures" and "The Week in Sports Pictures." Sources include wire services, picture agencies, small and large newspapers and scores of freelance photojournalists working around the globe.

Every Thursday morning three multimedia producers make the final selection for "The Week in Pictures." Every Monday morning, two multimedia producers and a sports producer select images for "The Week in Sports Pictures." The quality of the available photographs dictates the number of images published each week.

Different multimedia producers are involved in the final edit each week to encourage a diversity of viewpoints in selecting the best storytelling images. After editing and production, "The Week in Pictures" is published every Thursday afternoon. "The Week in Sports Pictures" updates every Monday afternoon.

Each week we invite our readers to vote for the Reader's Choice Award. MSNBC's "The Year in Pictures" compiles those Reader's Choice winners from each week and gives readers an opportunity to vote for the Picture of the Year.

Readers can sign up to receive e-mail notification when a new edition is published as well as information on enhancements to "The Week in Pictures." If you have any questions or comments, please write to us.
