Mohammed Nabbous
I woke up this morning to the news of Mohammed Nabbous death. Like many people I had been following his livestream and catching his reports via twitter. He gave real coverage to what was going on in Libya, investigating, interviewing, gathering first hand accounts.
When Gaddafi declared a ceasefire, Mo drove around Benghazi to show the world that his words did not reflect what was really happening on the ground. I think this is a huge loss for not only citizen journalism but for journalism, Libya and the world. He quite likely would have been one of the new leaders in Libya. I hope things turn out well there and honor the sacrifice he and citizens like him are making.
