TRAGEDY
2. War Photographer Dies in Libya

Prize-winning photojournalist Tim Hetherington has been killed in
Misrata, Libya, Vanity Fair has confirmed. The news was broken on fellow
photographer Andre Liohn's Facebook page, and Liohn is reportedly at the
hospital. Photographer Chris Hondros was also reportedly injured. Both
were decorated and respected practitioners. Hetheringon, 41 and born in
Britain, shot both still photos and video, and worked from Liberia,
Sudan, and other war zones. In 2010, he made the documentary Restrepo
with journalist Sebastian Junger. The film, which chronicled a year in
the life of an American infantry platoon stationed deep in the remote,
dangerous Korengal Valley, was nominated for the Oscar for Best
Documentary. Hetherington wrote about the experience for The Daily Beast
in 2010. Hondros, 41 and American, is also a war specialist, shooting
from conflict zones in Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. Shooting
for Newsweek, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other leading
publications, he is highly decorated. In 2004, he was a finalist for the
Pulitzer Prize in Spot News Photography for his work in Liberia. In
2006, he was awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal - named for the famed
photographer who was himself killed while working in Vietnam. As
recently as Wednesday morning, The Daily Beast used one of Hondros'
photos to illustrate a Libya story. (Correction: Earlier, The Daily
Beast had reported, per Vanity Fair, that Hondros was also killed;
Vanity Fair now says he is in "grave condition.")
