العربية: العميد نوين ناك لون من جيش ڤيتنام الجنوبيَّة يُعدم النقيب الڤِيَتْكُنغِي ڤان ليم نغوين في مدينة سيغون يوم 1 شُباط (فبراير) 1968م. نالت هذه الصورة جائزة پولتزر عن فئة الأخبار العاجلة لسنة 1969م. هُناك فيلمٌ أيضًا يُوثِّق هذا الإعدام، ولكن نظرًا لطبيعته المُنفرة، فإنَّ هذه الصورة كان لها نصيبٌ أكبر من الانتشار.
English: Nguyễn Ngọc Loan executes Viet Cong Captain Nguyễn Văn Lém. This Associated Press photograph won the 1969 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. Film also exists of this event, but owing to the more graphic nature of the film, the photograph is more widely known.
The photo was published simultaneously in many newspapers, some of which had no copyright notice at all (neither for the photo in particular, nor for the newspaper as a whole). For example:
Copyright was therefore forfeited per section 9 of the Copyright Act of 1909, which required that notice of copyright be affixed to every published copy.
The "source country" is the "country which has the most significant contacts with the work". [1] Because the photograph was taken by a US photographer and first published in the United States, the United States is the source country.
This is a featured picture on the Arabic language Wikipedia (صور مختارة) and is considered one of the finest images. See its nomination here.
