A Haitian journalist is one of the biggest winners in the news categories of the World Press Photo awards for 2010.
Daniel Morel won first place in the Spot News Stories category for his series on the January earthquake and its immediate aftermath.
He also took second place in the Spot News Singles category for an image of a woman trapped under rubble being rescued.
The journalist has been involved in a legal dispute over the republication of his photos by mainstream news outlets after he put them on a website.
Someone else spotted them, claimed ownership, and sold them to the AFP agency.
