WHETHER an article is about an exhibition, a car crash, football game, fundraiser or an award, a good photo tells the story just as much as the words do.
Throughout 2016, the team at the Mail – editor, Peter Douglas, journalists Kath Gannaway, Jesse Graham, Victoria Stone-Meadows, Jodie Symonds and Derek Schlennstedt and photographers Rob Carew and Greg Carrick – have been putting their cameras through their paces, trying to capture an image or a moment to convey the stories they prepare for the paper each week.
This gallery contains some of the best photos from the year, whether they be candid moments during a game or an emergency, or a portrait in an interesting place, and are just a few of the hundreds of photographs printed in last year’s editions.
Next week’s edition of the Mail will be our annual Year in Review edition, featuring some of the biggest and best stories, photos and front pages from the year.
