2020 has been filled with headlines, from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, bushfires, to street protests. Every year, TIME Magazine compiles photos, captured by news photographers around the world, which they believe, reflect the best (and the worst) moments of the past 12 months.
This year, a picture of the anti-government protesters flashing their three-finger salute, at Kaset intersection in Bangkok on October 19th, has been included in Time’s list. The photo was taken by Sakchai Lalit of AP.
Other photos chosen for inclusion include:
