ZUMA's Page One News!
August 3, 2005 - TORONTO, Ontario--When the Air
France plane crashed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport yesterday,
the world was on edge waiting for news on whether any of the passengers
or crew survived the accident. Miraculously, all 309 people passengers
evacuated the burning airbus with only 43 minor injuries reported.
ZUMA began syndicating compelling
Toronto Star coverage from the scene soon after the frightening
incident happened (see page A1 of the New York Daily News
and the Los Angeles Times among others). More
amazing images continue to poor in today as the investigation into the
ill-fated Air France flight gets underway. Click to view
more of the crash in Toronto.
Late on Friday afternoon (July 29) ZUMA's
wires buzzed with breaking news that London Police had stormed a North
Kensington flat and arrested two men in connection with the July 21 failed
Tube station bombings. Within minutes ZUMA
began syndicating exclusive Daily Mail coverage
of police cornering Muktar
Said Ibrahim and Ramzi Mohammed on a balcony as the two raised their
hands in surrender.
Despite the late hour at witch the news broke, the story-telling images
made countless front pages across the continent, including the New
York Times, Boston Globe,
Palm Beach Post, and Toronto Star.

 Months of hard work put into investigative reporting on methamphetamine use and abuse paid off this week for ZUMA Press photojournalist Mark Allen Johnson.
His silhouette image of a meth addict smoking the illegal narcotic ran
on the cover of this week's Newsweek, opening
the magazine's in-depth report on "how meth quietly marched across the
country and up the socioeconomic ladder--and the wreckage it leaves in
its wake."
Congrats Mark!
 Robin Nelson's coverage of Alabama's vile prison conditions made the front
page of the New York Times on August 1st. The
NYT article focused on the Limestone Correctional Facility as
it described the rapid spread of AIDS and H.I.V., the neglect and cruelty
implemented on the male prisoners, and the government's attempt to reform
prison healthcare. Nelson's reportage on the subject can be viewed on
our elite photojournalism site, zReportage.com
(see: AIDS
Death Prison).

Winking Jesus - by Bryan Smith/ZUMA
Press
Julio "Sly" Dones, a New Jersey resident faithfully devoted to his Jesus
shrine, claims to have witnessed a holy miracle when his plastic Sacred
Heart of Jesus statue "came to life." Dones was cleaning the shrine when
the statue opened its right eye and tilted its head. Is the man upstairs
trying to tell us something or was this just a hoax? Take
a look at the pictures and decide for yourself.
zReportage Update
City of God - © KARL GROBL/ZUMA Press
When Brother St. Vistal began finding girls as young as six sleeping on the steps of St. Gerard seminary, he did the only thing he could--he stood watch wielding a wooden bat to drive away anyone who might come to rob or abuse them. Determined to do more to help, he built Welcoming Center Orphanage--a safe haven for over 60 girls. Through his outreach efforts 600 more children benefit from his education and health care programs...and this is just the beginning!
