Anthony Shadid (September 26, 1968 – February 16, 2012) was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times based in Baghdad and Beirut who won the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting twice, in 2004 and 2010.[1][2][3]

Background

Anthony Shadid was born on September 26, 1968, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of Lebanese Christian descent. In 1990, he graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison,[4][5] where he wrote for The Daily Cardinal student newspaper.[6]

Career

From 2003 to 2009 Shadid was a staff writer for The Washington Post where he was an Islamic affairs correspondent based in the Middle East. He previously worked as Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press based in Cairo and as news editor of the AP bureau in Los Angeles. He spent two years covering diplomacy and the State Department for The Boston Globe before joining the Post's foreign desk.[7][8]

In 2002, he was shot in the shoulder by an Israel sniper in Ramallah[9] while reporting for the Boston Globe in the West Bank. The bullet also grazed his spine.[10][11]

On March 16, 2011, Shadid and three colleagues were reported missing in Eastern Libya, having gone there to report on the uprising against the dictatorship of Col. Muammar Al-Ghaddafi.[12] On March 18, 2011, The New York Times reported that Libya agreed to free him and three colleagues: Stephen Farrell, Lynsey Addario and Tyler Hicks.[13] The Libyan government released the four journalists on March 21, 2011.[14]

Personal life and death

Shadid married Nada Bakri, also a reporter for The New York Times; they had a son, Malik.[15] Shadid had a daughter, Laila, from his first marriage.[16]

Michael Shadid was his great uncle.

Shadid died at age 43 on February 16, 2012, from a "fatal asthma attack" while attempting to leave Syria.[15][17] Shadid's smoking and extreme allergy to horses are believed to be the major contributing factors in causing his fatal asthma attack.[17] His body was carried to Turkey by Tyler Hicks, a photographer for The New York Times.[2][18]

Shadid's cousin, Dr. Edward Shadid of Oklahoma City, challenged the Times' version of the death, and instead blamed the publication for forcing him into Syria.[2]

Works

Shadid's experiences in Iraq formed the subject for his 2005 book Night Draws Near, an empathetic look at how the war has impacted the Iraqi people beyond liberation and insurgency.
