Pulitzer Prize winner
defends free press
ROSKHURc; (AP) — David flume Kennedy
look his cameras prettv much wherever he
wanted when he was < ovonng the Vietnam
War. a freedom he says journalists must strug
gle to preserve
' ll the journalist wants to go out and get blown away, that’s his
business," the 45-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner said in an inter
view with The News-Review during a visit to lus hometown of
Roseburg.
The job also is made tougher by the sheer i ompetition among the
media, Kennerly said.
"Vietnam was more spread out, with fewer people covering the
story.” Kennerly said. “Nowadays, if there is a war a thousand peo
ple show up, and there is more press than soldiers "
Kennerly said there must be a compromise between the mili
tary's efforts to have total control of-the media and the total free
doin journalists demand.
journalists also should be ready to rope with battleground emer
gencies that may require giving up the role of observer. Kennerly
said. He remembers being criticized for bandaging wounded sol
diers before taking pictures of them
"It’s a human thing," Kennerly said "I would do what I had to
do to save a human life. Fortunately, situations like that don't arise
very often.”
Kennedy's photographs of the war and the race riots in the Unit
ed States are some of the most memorable and powerful of the
1960s. He covered assignments for United Press International and
Time magazine, earning top awards and professional respts t in ins
2 Os.
Kennerly won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography in 1U72
at age 25 for a portfolio of photos that showed the absolute devasta
tion of a battlefield in South Vietnam.
At 27. Kennerly was only the third civilian to lie appointed per
sonal photographer to a U S. president. He demanded, and re
ceived, unlimited ac cess to then-President fJerald Ford
He said he remembers first wanting to become a photojournalist
as a child in Roseburg when he saw a newspaper photographer
covering a fire.
"Here was this guy < rossing police lines, going to exciting
events," Kennedy said. "After ail. what kid doesn't like police cars
and fire trucks?"
