Polk Award Winners: Lynsey Addario
Apr 27, 2023•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
Lynsey Addario is a photojournalist for The New York Times and National Geographic. She won the George Polk award for her photograph of the bodies of a woman and her two children alongside a friend who lay dying moments after a mortar struck them as they sought to flee Ukraine.
"If I have time to compose a photo—even if it's of a horrific topic—I will always try to make the most beautiful photograph because I want people to look. I want people to ask questions, to be engaged, to pay attention. And often, that does mean the intersection of beauty and horror."
This is the fourth in a week-long series of conversations with winners of this year's George Polk Awards in Journalism.
