More often lately, I wonder what Anthony Shadid would be writing if he were with us. When he died, a former editor said: “He changed the way we saw Iraq, Egypt, Syria over the last, crucial decade. There is no one to replace him.” washingtonpost.com/local/obi… @farhip @marybsheridan

I'll be moderating this panel with @scheufele, @Kaiping_Chen and @kbculver next Monday! Come through!
