أعلنت صحيفة نيويورك تايمز ان مراسلها للشرق الاوسط انطوني شديد حائز جائزة بوليتزر الصحافية، توفي في سوريا على اثر اصابته بازمة ربو.

وقالت الصحيفة ان شديد تسلل الى سوريا لتغطية الاحتجاجات المطالبة بالديموقراطية وأصيب بأزمة ربو سببها الخيول التي يستخدمها المرشدون على ما يبدو.

وقال مدير التحرير في رسالة الكترونية لموظفي الصحيفة ان "انطوني مات كما عاش، مصمماً على ان يكون شاهداً على التغييرات في الشرق الاوسط وعلى معاناة الشعب العالق بين قمع الحكومة وقوى المعارضة".

حصل شديد وهو اميركي من اصل لبناني، على بوليتزر ارفع جائزة صحافية في الولايات المتحدة، مرتين في 2004 و2010 لتغطيته غزو العراق والحرب والفوضى التي تلت ذلك.

وقد قام مؤخرا بتغطية الثورات في العالم العربي من مصر الى سوريا وليبيا حيث اوقف مع صحافيين آخرين في نيويورك تايمز واساءت قوات معمر القذافي معاملتهم.

وتوجه رئيس الحكومة نجيب ميقاتي غبر "تويتر" بالتعزية الى عائلة وأصدقاء شديد، مشيراً أنه كان يعرف ويقدر شديد شخصياً

Brave journalist whom i admired. He cared about his job. Not even when the israeli army shot him while he was reporting in the westbank did he consider leaving his post as a journalist. You will be missed anthony.

His reporting on Syria was trashy and biased and now we know he had connections with the weapons smugglers whom he did not mention in his articles about "peaceful protesters" being killed. There is no such thing as a good journalist who works for the NY Times. Nevertheless, RIP.

Guys listen to Marad he knows best about unbiased journalism, it comes in the form of Al Watan, Tishreen, SANA, Walid Mou3alem's best irrefutable proofs and other TV Bloopers, Al Akhbar and Al Manure's Photoshop department.

Murad, you are right that new york times is a bad journalistic paper. But anthony shadid was the only one there who brought some proffesionalism to that paper. He didnt always work for this trashy paper. His work on syria was pretty good considering all the restrictions the new york times editor puts on its journalists. Anthony shadid was not a zionist, he was anti zionist, but he worked for a paper that was zionist. I guess he thought he could change things from within.

Some beared guys makes us ashamed of mentioning where we are from when traveling or living abroad..others make us proud to be lebanese...he was considered in Boston as the holder of the Khalil Jibran legacy.. his book "house of stone" will be released next week, maybe it´s good to switch our references from shallow politician speaches to deep readings of real life values... it´s time for the intellectual party to rise in that part of the 3rd world.

God bless his soul. If he wanted to tell lies. He could have done it from his office, pretending to be there.

It's always a tragedy when a good person dies. But I have to say (and I hope I'm not being out of line) that I had a chuckle when I learned that he died from asthma, although he was doing what might be the most dangerous job and heading towards the most dangerous place and survived being shot and being captured... I didn't even know you could die from asthma nowadays.
God bless his soul and his family and the people who survive him.

Shadid was an excellent, brave reporter. He contributed to the success of one of the world's best publications, the Old Gray Lady. I understand disagreeing with the NY times editorials occasionally, but their reporting is impeccable. My advice to dimwits who follow Al-Manar, SANA, and Iranian trashy outlets and who want to impugn the Times: go wash behind your ears.

the filthy zionist media terrorists give "advices" to patriotic lebanese.

this is how we know that we are doing the right thing: we do everything against your advices and we can't make mistake

Don't worry he's part of the zionist filthy media war machine. I saved Jabalamel time from posting. Everyone except the glorious resistance (that kills more Lebanese than Israelis) and the defender of the resistance Bashar (who hasn't launched one attack on Israel) are part of the zionist war machine.

the filthy zionist media terrorist could not restrain itself from mentioning me, bashar and many other totally irrelevant things.

such is their hatred that they even mention me when whitney houston died.

what a bunch of retards

Let him Rest in peace.
