The Daily Standard has published our selection of 'World Pictures' for almost ten years. It started as a result of seeing so many pictures on the Associated Press wire service that illustrate breaking news, current events, natural wonders, foreign cultures and the human condition. But most of these images could never have fit in our print edition. As of a week ago, The Daily Standard switched to a tier of service from the AP more appropriate for a newspaper of our size. Unfortunately this tier does not have carte blanche access to AP pictures, and we will be retiring our 'World Pictures' feature. Thank you for learning about our world with us through 'World Picts'.

Indigenous people watch on a large screen a Supreme Court vote to decide on whether to overturn or maintain a ruling that has restricted the constitutional rights of Indigenous peoples seeking land recognition, in Brasilia, Brazil, Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023. The high court is expected to issue a ruling on the legality of boundaries for vast Indigenous lands, and whether Indigenous can claim their right to be on some protected areas.
