STILL PHOTOGRAPHY/MULTIMEDIA CONTEST JUDGES

2013 NYPPA JUDGES



2012judges.jpg

Ron Cortes              Yunghi Kim                  Ron Haviv

Ron Cortes received the Pulitzer Prize in 1997 for explanatory journalism as a photojournalist with the Philadelphia Inquirer. He was awarded the prize for his photography in a series on the choices that confronted critically ill patients who sought to die with dignity.

Cortes is a native Texan, born in San Antonio, and a University of Texas graduate. He received a degree in mathematics in 1966 and taught for 10 years in Texas, California and Tehran, Iran. He returned to UT in 1978 to do postgraduate work in photojournalism.

Cortes began his photojournalism career in 1981 at the News Journal in Wilmington, Del. In 1987 he joined the Philadelphia Inquirer staff.

He has covered stories in Cuba, Bosnia, Ethiopia and Haiti.

Yunghi Kim came to the United States from her native South Korea at age 10. She graduated from Boston University in 1984 and began her career as a photographer at The Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass., before moving to The Boston Globe where she was a staff photographer for seven years. Kim was a member of Contact Press Images in 1995 and left the agencyin 2008.

Kim has covered conflicts and in-depth, issue-driven stories all over the world. Intimate storytelling and giving a voice to her subjects through the camera remain important to her.

A turning point in Kim’s career came in 1992 covering the famine in Somalia for The Boston Globe. She and a reporter were pinned down by heavy fighting and taken hostage by warlord Siad Hersey Morgan. Intervention by the United Nations and CARE resulted in their rescue after 13 hours in captivity. Kim returned to Somalia a few days later to complete her assignment, and again months later to cover the entry of US troops into the region. Her coverage of the Somali famine was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize that year.

Ron Haviv is a photojournalist, producing work covering a broad spectrum of international conflict. He is the author of several photographic collections and the recipient of a number of awards.

Haviv is also a co-founder of VII Photo Agency, which is dedicated to documenting change, conflict, and development of individuals, cultures and societies worldwide.

He also lectures at universities, conducts workshops worldwide, and has appeared on a number of television news shows.
