Anthony Shadid jumps to the Times

Anthony Shadid will be moving from the Washington Post to the NYTimes, staying in Baghdad. Shadid has done important reporting, in Iraq and beyond, winning a Pulitzer in 2004 for "his extraordinary ability to capture, at personal peril, the voices and emotions of Iraqis as their country was invaded, their leader toppled and their way of life upended" (specifically for these 10 articles). Shadid is fluent in Arabic. The Post's loss is the Times' gain.
