Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame Inducts Photographer Killed in Afghanistan

David Gilkey died in an ambush last June

When NPR war correspondent Tom Bowman recently returned to his Alma Mater Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vt., he told students that he is still feeling the effects of a horrible 2016 Afghanistan ambush. The June 5 attack claimed the life of his colleague, photographer David Gilkey, and their Afghani translator.

This month, it was announced that Gilkey is among the latest group of journalists inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame. 2017 honorees will be celebrated at a banquet in East Lansing April 9.
