Anthony Shadid

Anthony Shadid has reported from throughout the Middle East
for a decade, first as Cairo correspondent for The
Associated Press and then for The Boston Globe, where he
drew attention for reports from the West Bank and other
fronts. His first book, Legacy of the Prophet, drew praise
from the late Edward Said. At The Washington Post his
stories have often appeared on page one. For his work in
Baghdad he has received the Overseas Press Club Award (his
second), the Michael Kelly Award, and last April was given
the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. He
currently lives in Baghdad and
Washington, D.C.

Shadid was killed in Syria in 2012.
