"I've lived in New York for a while and have yet to make it out to Ellis Island, always feeling like it's too much of a tourist trap and forgetting what's beyond that: rich history and an amazing museum. These photos show the diverse face of America. At a time when immigration and the refugee crises are hot-button issues, it is so important to remember this. America is a melting pot of culture. It always has been and always will be." —Sarah Kobos, photo editor, BuzzFeed

"This Is How Much Trump and Clinton Have Changed Over the Years" — BuzzFeed
"Photo editing is about as honest as photography itself, meaning that by its very nature of selecting a frame, it opens itself up to bias.

"Educating Girls in South Sudan" — Al Jazeera
"These are some of the women who will one day rule their country — and the world — and the importance of photo stories like this is that it freezes and preserves this moment in time when things were dire and the good life was still far out of reach. For future generations to benefit from accounts like this, that’s real impact." —Anna Mendoza, photo editor, BuzzFeed Australia
