A look back at 2018 in pictures from Canada and around the world

New Year’s affords many of us the time to take a brief break as we gather ourselves for what’s ahead.

It is also, of course, a time to reflect on what’s behind.

Some of those stories are happy.

Some are not so happy, especially the event voted Canada’s News Story of the of Year, in Canadian Press’s annual survey of newsrooms across the country.

CBC, as it does annually, has published what it considers the most compelling pictures of 2018–from Canada and around the world, as well as the best news overnight news photos.

We at Radio Canada International are happy to share them with our friends, supporters, readers and listeners.

Happy New Year, Everyone!!!!!
