SDN is saddened to learn today of the death of two brave and immensely talented photographers, Tim Hetheringon and Chris Hondros, who were killed in action on Wednesday while covering the war in Libya. Two other photojournalists, Guy Martin and Michael Christopher Brown, were also injured in the rocket propelled grenade attack launched from pro-Qaddafi forces.
Reporting in the New York Times website, New York Times photographer Tyler Hicks paid a tribute in an e-mail, "Chris made sacrifices in his own life to bring the hardships of war into the public eye, and that dedication created award-winning photographs that shaped the way people viewed the world," he wrote.
Hetherington is known for his documentary reporting from Liberia and Afghanistan, and especially his Oscar-winning documentary film, Restrepo, created with Sebastian Junger, on the lives of soldiers in the war in Afghanistan.
Hetherington was between assignments for Vanity Fair and working on his own when he was struck by the grenade. He was in Libya to continue his ongoing multimedia project to highlight humanitarian issues during time of war and conflict.
