- ... that six-tenths of a second is one reason a photograph (pictured) won a Pulitzer Prize? Source: The sudden movement provoked Mr. Jackson, six-tenths of a second later, to snap the shutter. "The reason Beers shot too soon, in comparison to me," says Mr. Jackson, "is that he saw it easier and quicker than I did. Ruby was more in his vision. and Six-tenths of a second, in fact, is precisely the difference in the timing of two great photographs taken of the event, one by Dallas Times Herald photographer Robert H. “Bob” Jackson,, and the other by the late Ira Jefferson “Jack” Beers of the Dallas Morning News.

Created by Bruxton (talk). Self-nominated at 04:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Jack Ruby Shoots Lee Harvey Oswald; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new and long enough (created 28 Jan, RPS 4548 B). Sourcing looks good, hooks are interesting (I prefer ALT0, and I recommend adding a link to Pulitzer Prize) and cited. Earwig is a little higher than normal but basically all flagged portions are direct quotes that are cited and attributed in the article. QPQ done. All good.
