Photo District News (or PDN) was an American monthly trade publication for professional photographers,[2] published from 1980 to January 2020.[3] The publication took its name from New York City's photo district, an area of photo businesses that was once located in Flatiron District.[4]

Time described PDN's annual list of "30 New and Emerging Photographers" as "the go-to outlet to discover up-and-coming photographers, determined on the basis of creativity, versatility and distinctive vision", and as "a career turning point" for those included on the list.[5]
