New York Times Reporter Risked His Life for Stories Otherwise Untold

"I don't think there's any story worth dying for," the New York Time's
Anthony Shadid told Mother Jones magazine in an interview last month, "but
I do think there are stories worth taking risks for." Of a journey he took
last summer to Syria, he said "that was probably one of the greatest risks
I've ever taken as a journalist, but that story felt as if it wouldn't be
told if I didn't go there."
.
At the time, Shadid was one of the few journalists who had managed to
enter Syria and give a first-hand account of the first stages of the
bloody repression of the demonstrations against Bashar Assad's regime. He
stole the border from Lebanon and traversed the country without a visa on
a motorbike. Describing his decision-making process on making these trips,
he admitted that "emotion and, hopefully not, but ambition often get in
the way of the judgment. But you go and hope you get it right."
.
Anthony Shadid returned to Syria last week, after giving up on the chance
of receiving a visa. This time he went through the Turkish border,
together with photographer Tyler Hicks. They squeezed under a barbed-wire
border fence and already when going in, Shadid experienced his first
asthma attack - an allergic reaction to the horses of the smugglers who
were getting them through. On his way out Thursday, the allergy flared up
again, this time with a much more severe asthma attack that rendered him
unconscious. Hicks, who tried to resuscitate him, failed and he carried
his body back over the border to Turkey.
.
Forty three year-old Shadid already knew as a teenager in Oklahoma City
that he would be a journalist and report from the Middle East. As the son
of Lebanese Christian immigrants, he sought "to go back to the Arab world
and try to understand what it meant to be Lebanese." His wish was granted
in 1995, when after five years of working for the Associated Press in New
York and Los Angeles, he was sent to report on the region from Cairo.
