Globetrotting Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Marcus Yam has recovered from a work injury, completed a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard, and returned to the field, where he now develops, writes, and photographs features. Yam spent more than two weeks in Taiwan to chronicle how its tension with China shapes daily lives. Yam joined The Globe and Mail in March 2026 as an International Visual Correspondent based in Madrid. Working in the American West, Yam was on newspaper teams that won Pulitzer Prizes in 2015 (The Seattle Times’ coverage of landslides) and 2016 (Los Angeles Times’ coverage of San Bernardino terror attacks). In 2017, Yam was named Newspaper Photographer of the Year by Pictures of the Year International.
