Summary of World Press Photo Stands By Controversial Award

Step One: 

A complaint from a city official prompted an investigation of photos. Allegations of photo staging and misrepresenting a city in Belgium called Charleroi occurred. The WPP made a statement rebuffing the claims and announced that it would stand by the decision. More controversy among photojournalists who could hold the statement of "The contest requires photojournalists do not stage pictures to show something that would otherwise have not taken place." as open to interpretation. The mayor of Charleroi protested what he claimed were negative misrepresentations in the photographer's work. Because of the letter, the WPP probed further into the photographer's work and process, requiring him to divulge this information. The necessary officials convened, discussed the information, decided there was no reason to proceed any further, and stood by their original decision. The photographer, Giovanni Troilo, made a statement that the city was a metaphor for his project, and claimed he knew the city intimately. He called it "La Ville Noire", or "The Black City" as a social statement about the lack of work for the city's diverse population. Claiming to have talked at length with the less mainstream, or those living "outside of the central ring", the many photos taken were narrowed down to a small cross-section of the population. Troilo also spoke of his method of asking questions of the press and checking them against his own conclusions, concerning himself with presenting an accurate view of the city. The methodology of how the photos were taken, whether a candid shot or portraiture, was discussed, as well as the use of captions to create a story of the city. Troilo claimed to have significant support of the people of the city. A detailed account of the captioning and the images taken then follows.

Two:

The main claims/supporting evidence seem to be: 

The city of Charleroi was misrepresented in a negative way by the photos. At least one photo was staged. The WPP and the photographer interpret the rules of the contest differently. Even so, the WPP is, for the time being, standing by the decision to award Mr. Troilo. The photographer explains in detail the process of each photo and the explanations are scrutinized.

The World Press Photo, despite allegations of photo staging and misrepresentation of the City of Charleroi, decided after a detailed investigation to stand by its decision to award Giovanni Troilo First Prize in the WPP Photojournalism Contest for 2015.

All necessary information is included in the above summary.

My summary really only has a few direct quotes from the article, and that's the only way it seems to differ from Selena's. The subject matter is completely different, and so we did not identify the same claims or evidence. The form of both summaries is consistent.
