Summary
Pulitzer prize-winning photojournalist Ovie Carter was born on March 11, 1946, in Indianola, Mississippi. He attended different high schools in Memphis, Chicago, and St. Louis. Carter then served with the U.S. Air Force, and afterwards attended the Ray Vogue School of Photography in Chicago. In 1969, he joined the Chicago Tribune newspaper, where he began his photojournalism career. In 1974, he spent almost three months traveling across Africa and India with reporter William Mullen, reporting on famine. Their research trip resulted in their piece, "The Faces of Hunger", which went on to win the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 1975. A photo from the series also won the prestigious World Press Photo Contest. Carter also contributed photos for Mitch Duneier's book Slim's Table and Sidewalk. In 2004, Carter retired from his position with the Chicago Tribune after winning five of the paper's "Beck" photography awards.
