Malcolm Wilde Browne (born 1933) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist and photographer. His best known work is the award-winning photograph of the self-immolation of Buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức in 1963.

Early life

Browne was born and raised in New York City. His mother was a Quaker with fervently anti-war opinions, his father a Roman Catholic and an architect. Browne attended Friends Seminary, a Quaker school in Manhattan from kindergarten through to twelfth grade. He went to a Quaker college in Pennsylvania and studied chemistry.[1]

Career

His career in journalism began when he was drafted during the Korean War,[2] and assigned to the Pacific edition of the Stars and Stripes where he worked for two years. He worked for the Middletown Times Herald-Record,[3] then joined the Associated Press (AP), and working in Baltimore from 1959 to 1961, at which point he was made chief correspondent for Indochina. After having won a Pulitzer and received many job offers he eventually left the AP in 1965.

Worked for ABC TV for about a year but became dissatisfied by television journalism.[1] He worked freelance for several years, and did a years fellowship at Columbia University with the council for foreign relations. In 1968, he joined The New York Times, and in 1972 became its correspondent for South America. Before becoming a journalist Browne worked as a chemist,[2] and in 1977, he became a science writer, and served as a senior editor for Discover, returning to the Times in 1985. In 1991, he covered the Persian Gulf War.
