Fuzzy age

Anthony Shadid, male, The New York Times reporter, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, died of asthma during an interview in eastern Syria on February 12. Anthony Shadid grew up in the United States, but like the Lebanese who moved to other places, the Shadids are a family that can never settle down.

Shadid said that when they think of "home" or "home" in the local sense, they always think of Majiayong's house in Lebanon, which represents an indelible identity.

Lebanese-American, who worked for Associated Press, Washington Post and Boston Globe, has rich experience in battlefield reporting. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 2004 and 20 10 for reporting on Iraq. Shadid was proficient in Arabic, and he left a wife and two children.

His body has been transported across the border by taylor hicks, a fellow photographer. In 20 1 1 year, Shadid and three other colleagues were arrested by Libyan government forces loyal to Gaddafi while covering the Libyan war, and released a week later. The New York Times said that Shadid, the director of the Beirut branch of the newspaper, had been in Syria for a week with the permission of the Syrian government.

The Syrian government strictly controls foreign journalists' coverage of the country. Jill abramson, the newspaper's executive editor, said in an internal email to members of the newspaper: "Anthony is gone as if he were still alive-he witnessed the regime change sweeping across the Middle East and the suffering of the people here."

"Anthony Shadid is a truly great journalist and a very good colleague," Stephen Farrell, a journalist arrested in Libya with Shadid, tweeted on Thursday.
