Each year, TIME’s photo editors look at millions of news pictures. They’re found in the folds of magazines and newspapers, on websites and in the deep scrolls of social networks; they’re made by veteran staffers, independent photographers, eyewitnesses and everyone in between. Throughout the year, we set aside ones that made us pause and reflect: on the states of news and politics, on the states of humanity and our planet.
