In the previous post we had an example of some of the worst in photojournalism. Now you can consider some of the best. Beginning yesterday Slate in cooperation with Magnum Photos has added a new feature called "Today's Pictures." The title is a bit misleading, since these are not current photos; they are the photos from the Magnum archive selected for the day.

Of Magnum they say,

Magnum's archive, an extraordinary visual storehouse, forms the basis for the daily gallery we'll be presenting in Today's Pictures. You can get a sense of the richness and variety of this material with the introductory survey of classic Magnum photography that begins on the site today and continues tomorrow. Our colleagues at Magnum have chosen one image by each of the 70-plus photographers on their roster. Over future weeks and months, we'll be offering different selections from these photographers. The daily gallery will present photos that shed light on historical anniversaries, images of recent news events, or sometimes simply a body of work we consider beautiful, meaningful, or urgent.

They're excellent. Check 'em out.
