    Jonathan Eig and Yohance Lacour: New Perspectives on Stories from the Past
    Apr 21 2025
    Jonathan Eig won the 2024 Pulitzer in Biography for King: A Life, a revelatory book on Martin Luther King Jr. that draws on new sources to enrich our understanding of the civil rights leader’s life. When Eig heard the 2024 Pulitzer-win for Audio Reporting, You Didn’t See Nothin, he knew he had to talk with the podcast host, Yohance Lacour of the Invisible Institute. In this award-winning podcast, Lacour revisits his reporting and experience of covering the 1997 brutal beating of 13-year-old Lenard Clark, a story that Eig also covered as a local journalist back in 1997. In this episode, the two writers discuss what it means to revisit old stories in order to offer new perspectives, the importance of collaboration, and the role journalism can still play in helping America heal from the past.
