The multi award winning photojournalist Niall Carson based in Northern Ireland is my guest for the first part of a new mini Tuesday edition mini-series where we find out what it’s like to be literally in the line of fire as a news photojournalist. Today we learn about Niall’s upbringing and early career, son to a catholic family living in West Belfast, where divide in the 70s and 80s was a way of life, something underlined by his first day working at a newspaper in the city.
