In 1973, the World Press Photo Foundation honored her with the award of Outstanding News Photo of the year for her work in Vietnam. In 1974, she received the Poynter fellowship from Yale University for excellence in journalism. Recently, Gluck returned to Vietnam to visit the sites she photographed during the war and see the changes that have come to a land that was destroyed by fighting only three decades ago.
