2016 Year in Pictures: News
Conflict, politics, jubilation, disaster and a look at the brave and the bold are among our selections for the year in pictures for 2016 from Associated Press, Reuters News Agency, the White House and Getty Images.
2016 saw tragic acts of terrorism abroad and civil unrest at home amid one of the wildest presidential election cycles in history.
