In this special ONPA Convention Episode (Part II) of the Buckeye Visualist, host Lori King sits down with longtime ONPA leaders Kimberly Barth and Bob DeMay as they revisit the history of the Ohio News Photographers Association: When it was founded and where it is now.

We will also hear from #Ohio University photojournalism professor Stan Alost and two of his photojournalism students. They discuss the classes that prepare our future generation of storytellers. Alost also talks about how OU has cranked out more Pulitzer Prize winners than he can count, including Marcus Yam, the keynote speaker for the convention.

Part I of this special podcast edition of the Buckeye Visualist features LA Times roving foreign correspondent Marcus Yam, who takes us back to when and where his award-winning photojournalism career began -- at his school newspaper at the University at Buffalo.

Formally of Malaysia, Yam's long and twisting journey to the ⁠⁠LA Times⁠⁠ is one of grit, perseverance and luck. It includes multiple newspaper internships, a successful freelance gig at the New York Times and a short stint at the Seattle Times, where he won one of his three Pulitzer Prizes for breaking news photography.  Go here to listen to Yam's interview in Part I.
