    #Shadid had the rare ability to make people he met even briefly feel like they were special and mattered. Part of the reason for outpouring.

    After anthony shadid's unauthorized trip into Syria, the Gov put him on television and called him a spy. He went back again.

    Anthony Shadid still trending. Proof that in age of shouting matches and celebrity nonsense, real journalism still matters, impacts people.

    Anthony Shadid was a friend & mentor to many Arab-American journalists. Lots of tears & memories in the community today. He's irreplaceable.

    Rarely does a journalist die and the world is different, but without shadid we will know less, and settle for less nuanced, less human truth

    Remember interning at WaPo when Shadid won Pulitzer in 2010. He was home in Boston with a newborn and editors piped him in on speakerphone.

    There are great reporters and there are great writers. And then there are the rare few who inspire awe by being both. pulitzer.org/archives/6809

    Shadid was the most elegant example of how you can be an Arab and a journalist in American media without the whiff of pander or bias.

    I'm grieving for Anthony Shadid, a college friend. We'd both get As on papers, only the professor would read his out loud to the class.
