NEW YORK — Four New York Times journalists, including a Pulitzer
Prize winner, have been reported missing in Libya, the newspaper said.
Editors said they last heard from their employees on Tuesday.
Executive editor Bill Keller reports on NYTimes.com
that Libyan officials told the Times that they are trying to find the
journalists.
“We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli,
and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our
journalists,” Keller said. “We are grateful to the Libyan government
for their assurance that if our journalists were captured they would be
released promptly and unharmed.”
Missing are Pulitzer-Prize-winning reporter and Beirut bureau chief
Anthony Shadid; reporter/videographer Stephen Farrell; and photographers
Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario.
“Their families and their colleagues at The Times are anxiously
seeking information about their situation, and praying that they are
safe,” Keller said.
