Visual Journalism Grant Honors Tim Hetherington

In April, the journalism community mourned the untimely death of Tim Hetherington, who, along with photojournalist Chris Hondros, was killed while documenting fighting in Libya. In honor of his life’s work, Human Rights Watch and World Press Photo have announced the Tim Hetherington Grant, an annual visual journalism award focusing on human rights.

“This award is a tribute to Tim Hetherington’s extraordinary talent for bringing human rights stories into vivid focus,” said Carroll Bogert, deputy executive director for external relations at Human Rights Watch, in the press release.
