José Moré, Picture Editor

José Moré, formerly a Chicago Tribune staff photographer, has covered news, features and sports assignments in Chicago and throughout the Midwest for 28 years. His assignments have taken him to document post-9/11 developments in Pakistan and Afghanistan, civil war in the Congo, civil strife in Central America, crises in the Middle East, and earthquakes in Mexico City, Guatemala and Armenia. He also covered presidential campaigns from the Nixon era to the present and the world trips of Pope John Paul II over a quarter century.

Moré was an integral member of the Tribune’s team that won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism for “Gateway to Gridlock,’’ a series on air traffic congestion. He also won four Peter Lisagor awards from the Chicago Headline Club and four annual awards for photographic excellence from the Tribune. For exposing a human trafficking network supplying labor to rebuild Iraq, he shared the 2005 George Polk award for international reporting.

Before joining the Tribune, Moré was a staff photographer for United Press International and for the Palm Beach Post.
