 Walter Mears, former AP Washington bureau chief, and Kiichiro Sato, AP photo editor in Ohio, will present an exhibit illustrating the history of the AP on Thursday, Nov. 15, at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
The free, public lecture begins at 5:30 p.m. in 111 Carroll Hall.
Mears won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 1977 for his coverage of the 1976 presidential campaign. Sato, a native of Yokohama, Japan, joined the AP in Jan. 2005, after serving as director of photography at the Mobile (Ala.) Register.
The 18-panel exhibit, which will be on display in Carroll Hall from Nov. 12-16, incorporates iconic photographs and other striking images from the AP’s library and corporate archives, telling the stories behind the New York-based news agency’s documentation of world events since its founding in 1846.
The exhibit is based on the AP’s recently published history, “BREAKING NEWS: How the Associated Press Has Covered War, Peace, and Everything Else.”
