It was a <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-war-photos-lynsey-addario-documents-atrocities/">photograph</a> of a mother, her two children, and a church volunteer crumpled to the ground. They were the victims of a Russian mortar attack on civilians as they attempted to flee over the Irpin River to Kyiv. The photo, which was was taken by the Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario, sent shock-waves throughout the world.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Capturing that image also put<a href="https://twitter.com/lynseyaddario"> Lynsey Addario</a> in grave danger, something that she has confronted many times over during her more than two-decade career as one of the most accomplished war-photographers in the world.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Addario has had boots on the ground in Ukraine since the begining of the Russian invasion. And, as we near the one year anniversary of the war, she describes the toll of the conflict on Ukrainian civilians and reflects on the personal cost of covering conflict.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Ukraine is just one of the war zones that Addario has traveled in and out of, on assignment for The New York Times, National Geographic, and other publications for more than two decades.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2015, American Photo Magazine named Addario as one of the five most influential photographers of the past 25 years, saying she changed the way we saw the world&#8217;s conflicts.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">I spoke with Addario when she made a brief stop in Washington DC on November 3rd to receive the prestigious Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women’s Media Foundation.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This is my third conversation with the fearless Addario. To hear her personal story of how she became a photojournalist, how she covers major conflicts, how she survived a violent kidnapping in Libya, and why she does the work she does, do check out my previous interview with Addario on my leadership podcast, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4NTAy4IGE&amp;list=PLr0ajNXL3iIj9imxp2doyHI2XR-Ee33IA&amp;index=37">When It Mattered, Episode 35</a>. It’s an incredible story.
