The New York Times photographers Tyler Hicks and Josh Haner have been honoured with 2014 Pulitzer Prizes in photography.

Tyler Hicks received the breaking news award for his work documenting the terrorist attack at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya. “It’s a huge honor to be recognized in this way, and it’s a reminder to me that these stories, however far away and however remote, are being noticed and that the risks that photographers all over the world take in going to dangerous places are being acknowledged and rewarded,”

Josh Haner won the feature photography award for his photo essay ‘Beyond the Finish Line’ that followed the struggle of one of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings struggling through rehabilitation.
