Have photographs in the news media ever made you wonder, ‘Why did they print that photograph?’ Since the time of the Civil War news photographs have spurred conversation and often controversy.

Legendary Associated Press Photo Editor Hal Buell will speak on Wednesday, September 26 at 6:30 p.m. in George Pearl Hall in the Architecture and Planning Building (2401 Central Ave NE).
