Fresh Air's Terry Gross interviewed New York Times photojournalist Tyler Hicks about the photograph that won him a 2014 Pulitzer prize. Also this week, The Overseas Press Club gave Hicks The Robert Capa Gold Medal Award honoring "best photographic reporting requiring exceptional courage and enterprise," for his coverage of the September, 2013 attack. "It took much risk to stay on scene in order to document the horrors and aftermath of the attack," says a statement from the OPC.
