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 photojournalists, the future of staff
photographers and why they matter even in our current visual
age.
