The death of journalism has been greatly exaggerated. As we embark on a new year, the role of journalist—and photojournalist—will be as important as ever.

This is The Year in Pictures 2016, a photographic trip through the past wild year. Take a look at some of the stunning shots and see the whole collection at NYTimes.com.
