The Pulitzer Prize winner Tyler Hicks on capturing the migrant crisis. Video by PBS NewsHour

Tyler Hicks, a staff photographer for The New York Times, joined “PBS NewsHour” to discuss his recent Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography for capturing the resolve of refugees, the perils of their journeys and the struggle of host countries to take them in:

“This was a really interesting story because there’s a small amount of space for all these refugees arriving along the shores of Lesbos. You had tens of thousands of people flooding into this space that’s just a couple of miles long. ... This [photo] was unusual because it was just before dark and there were no other boats coming. This one last boat came in and there was no one there to receive them, no help for them. ... I really felt it was important to capture that moment.”

Elisabeth Bumiller, The Times’s Washington bureau chief, joined MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to discuss Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy stances as depicted in The New York Times Magazine cover story “How Hillary Clinton Became a Hawk”:

“Hillary’s worldview is one of American exceptionalism, as Mark [Landler] talks about ... which is that there is a role for the American military — in certain areas — for intervention. For example, the debate whether to send more troops to Afghanistan in 2009: She sided with the defense secretary Bob Gates to send 40,000 troops. That was a high number. ... The number ended up being 30,000, but she supported Gates the whole way.”

Stephanie Strom, a reporter for The Times, joined WRKO Radio’s “Financial Exchange” to discuss the news that Chobani, the yogurt maker, will be giving its employees shares worth up to 10 percent of the company when it goes public or is sold:

“[The delegation of shares is] primarily on tenure. It probably has something to do with job responsibility as well, but there are a variety of things that go into the mix. ... It’s a big enough company that it could do an I.P.O. — it doesn’t have to be bought by another big food company. But big food companies have kicked the tires.”

Ashley Parker, a political correspondent for The Times, joined Fox News Channel’s “Shepard Smith Reporting” to discuss Donald J. Trump’s message to voters shifting toward a general election tone:

“What you’re seeing are natural growing pains that any campaign would have when you bring in new advisers and when you shift from a primary to a general. But this is not like a typical campaign, so trying to go from very, very unconventional to what you would need to clinch the nomination and win on Election Day ... it’s probably a little more fraught for someone like Donald Trump to make that transition to presidential.”
