The photograph known as 'Napalm Girl' has recently sparked significant debate in the media, with a controversy surrounding its authorship to Huỳnh Công "Nick" Út. While the Associated Press (AP) reaffirmed his authorship, World Press Photo now officially suspended the attribution to Út.
The image, officially titled The Terror of War, was captured in 1972 during the Vietnam War. It shows a nine-year-old girl, Phan Thị Kim Phúc, running down a road after suffering burns from a South Vietnamese napalm attack.
