Guy Kopelowicz, whose distinguished career editing and leading photo coverage for The Associated Press in France lasted more than four decades, has died. He was 89.
A respected fixture in the Paris photo world, Kopelowicz played a key role in AP's coverage of some of the most significant news events of his time — including the Paris uprising of 1968, the 1972 Munich Olympics hostage crisis, multiple Olympic Games, Pope John Paul II’s visit to Lourdes in 1983, the historic 1984 reconciliation meeting of French President François Mitterrand and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl in Verdun and the 1998 World Cup.
