- David Carson is a
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer for the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Carson’s images are featured extensively in the
2015 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography that was
awarded to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch photo staff. In 2008, his
multimedia project “Reporting for Duty” won a regional Emmy award
for Advanced Media – Interactivity. We talk with David about his
experience covering Ferguson, and how much of his team’s previous
work prepared them to better understanding the issues that were
front and center. David shares his take on newsrooms that have lost
photojournalist, the future of staff photographers and why they
matter even in our current visual age.
