New to me, though she's been around for a while.

I generally delineate between photographic journalism (the recording of events) and photographic art (the interpretation of reality for aesthetic effect).

She challenges that line - sad, compelling, but superb work:

Lynsey Addario

I've been following her on Instagram for a while, after seen her work in The New York Times. She's very good.

Plus one in thanks for sharing. Along her line of photojournalism yet somewhat of a different background I can suggest another topnotch photojournalist you probably never heard of is Carl Juste.
Although we are very different from each other, Carl and I are friends. I am old enough to be his father, racially different, white haired and do much different photography.
So as to keep my post brief, enclosed is a link to an interview he had and also to recommend a HBO documentary in which he was one of four journalists featured .."ENDANGERED".
the interview is on the entry from MEDIUM "The Conversations Captured Via Photography"

Thread title tweaked to include the name - to make it easier to find.
Interestingly, no one who has posted so far - including the OP - actually includes her name in anything other than a web link.
So I will - Lynsey Addario - to make it possible for a content search to find the thread.

Noted and I will observe that protocol in the future.

I am not a smart man.

chuckroast and others
Some thirteen years ago Carl Juste put together an exhibition of the twenty-five top American photojournalists and Lynsey Addario was included. He has very many references on the web. Check him out if you want to see more work of another multi award winning photographer and a very fine individual.

Thanks, and I doubt that is a true self-appraisal.
We generally try to look at a thread and ask:
1) will someone new to Photrio and reading it on a phone be able to understand/appreciate this thread?; and
2) will someone looking for a thread that contains the information here be able to find this thread?
It sometimes is hard to put oneself in different shoes, but when one does, it can really enhance the value of what is here.
