Una foto en blanco y negro de un sheriff que registra, pistola en mano, una casa, cuyos ocupantes fueron expulsados por no pagar la hipoteca fue elegida como la mejor de 2008, anunció el jurado del premio World Press Photo.

Elogiaron la imagen del estadounidense Anthony Suau como 'una clásica foto de conflicto', que refleja como ninguna el drama de la crisis hipotecaria en EUA. Es como si la guerra hubiese entrado en las casas de las personas que ya no pueden pagar los intereses de sus hipotecas.
