The Associated Press has concluded a year-long investigation into the authorship of the iconic Vietnam War photograph known as "Napalm Girl," which depicts a naked girl running from a napalm attack. This inquiry was prompted by the release of the documentary "The Stringer," which questioned whether Nick Ut was the actual photographer. After thorough examination, the AP stated on May 6, 2025, that it found "no definitive evidence" to change the nearly 52-year-old photo credit originally attributed to Ut. The findings reaffirm the long-standing attribution of the photograph to Nick Ut.
