In this episode, Ian records his first solo interview, making his debut with a Pulitzer Prize winner no less! He speaks with Cathal McNaughton about his life and career (so far) as a photojournalist, his thoughts on 'fake news' and the changing state of the news media. You can also enjoy his Irish pronunciation of 'film'. Cathal McNaughton is a multi-award-winning photojournalist currently based in Ireland. After winning the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for his coverage of the Rohingya refugee crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh, Cathal relocated back to Ireland where he is continuing his work documenting people and places. Previously Cathal was chief photographer for Reuters in India and has travelled extensively in Asia covering news stories of world importance. He also worked for Reuters in Europe, the Press Association and The Daily Telegraph - and his work regularly features in leading publications across the globe. Cathal’s photography has won him major accolades including POYI, U.K Press Photographer of the Year, Royal Photographer of the Year and Environmental Photographer of the Year. His work capturing the struggle of the exiled Rohingya Muslims saw him awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in New York in 2018. Cathal leads master classes, workshops and conferences in universities and travels worldwide talking about the role of the media in divided societies, and the importance of factual journalism in the world of social media.
