Homer Bigart
Worked for the New York Tribune during the Second World War. He was one of the eight war correspondents selected to fly with the United States Air Force on bombing missions over Germany.
Bigart also reported on the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Bigart, who later joined the New York Times, won the Pulitzer Prize twice for journalism during his career. One critic has argued: “Bigart’s tough, skeptical reporting and his lean, muscular prose set the benchmark for a younger generation of reporters, and helped to shape the critical brand of coverage that came to define the journalism of the late 1960s and 70s.” Homer Bigart died in 1991.
