When Esther Htusan started working as a fixer for foreign news agencies in 2010, she never imagined that she would one day win a Pulitzer Prize, one of the world’s most coveted journalism awards.
Her path to the prize – which she won last month in the Public Service Journalism category along with colleagues Margie Mason, Robin Mcdowell and Martha Mendoza – was fuelled by enthusiasm, hard work and a passion to learn everything she could about journalism as quickly as possible.
As a fixer for the AP news agency, she was especially keen to acquire the skills and techniques used by journalists to uncover the truth about injustice and discrimination. She started by studying the work of the correspondents whose stories she helped research. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
