Pulitzer-prize worthy?

Kevin Carter photographed the devastating famine in Darfur in 1993. He won a Pulitzer-prize for his compelling picture of an emaciated child struggling to make it to a food center. Behind the child is a preying vulture waiting to attack. This photo was extremely powerful and served as a rude awakening to a lot of people. He didn't help the child get to the food center however, he just chased the vulture away. Should he have been deemed such a hero, even though he didn't help the poor child?
