PHOTOJOURNALIST DAVID GILKEY, TRANSLATOR, KILLED IN AFGHANISTAN | NPPA
“The hallmark of David’s storytelling around this topic was that he wanted people to know that we still have people in harm’s way every day, and while it is no longer on the front page in the way that it has been and while it’s been transitioning away from U.S. military support, that’s why he kept doing it.
