Below there are 8 The Most Influential News Pictures in October 2011. Week on week, month on month news photographers from different corners of the world work tirelessly to bring their stories to the public eye.
They do so through news papers, magazines and more recently the internet. To select one image for a day from all the tens of thousands that made it to front pages, is no easy task. But we have tried to do so. Do keep in mind that our collection of images is never about the best news stories.
We may have omitted the Gadaffi images altogether simply because of the lack of the visual appeal on those images. So, every image that we select is based on visual impact alone, not so much their story telling value. Let's see the best picture below!
