The winner of the 1990 World Press Photo award was a picture of a lone demonstrator defiantly blocking a column of tanks during the June crackdown of the uprising in Beijing. The photo was made by Charlie Cole, a Newsweek magazine staff photographer. "The picture symbolizes the events of 1989 . . . it's the individual standing up to a repressive regime, to a military juggernaut," said Michael Rand, chairman of the nine-person World Press Photo jury.
