Documenting the frontlines — Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist to present at the Wachholz

Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario will present her experiences and insights from reporting on the frontlines of conflicts, humanitarian crises and women’s issues March 20 at the Wachholz College Center.

As part of the Changemaker Speaker Series, Addario will share harrowing tales from conflict zones around the globe, shedding light on the human stories behind the headlines. By focusing on humanitarian and human rights issues, Addario built a career by capturing powerful images in dangerous environments. 

In 2015, American Photo Magazine named her one of five most influential photographers of the past 25 years, noting she changed the way people saw the world's conflicts. She was part of the New York Times team to win a Pulitzer Prize for overseas reporting out of Afghanistan and Pakistan and has been nominated for a second Pulitzer.
