“To all of us who have worked as foreign reporters in frightening places,” says NYT executive editor Bill Keller, “[Dith] Pran reminds us of a special category of journalistic heroism — the local partner, the stringer, the interpreter, the driver, the fixer, who knows the ropes, who makes your work possible, who often becomes your friend, who may save your life, who shares little of the glory, and who risks so much more than you do.” || Read Washington Post and Los Angeles Times obituaries. || Also: Tom Huang‘s tribute.
