Mohammad Nabbous
Crossfire
The death has been announced of Mohammad Nabbous, described as the "face of citizen journalism in Libya".
Nabbous was apparently shot dead by Gaddafi forces in Benghazi. Known as "Mo", Nabbous set up Libya al-Hurra TV, which broadcast raw feeds and commentary from Benghazi, on Livestream.
Andy Carvin, social media strategist at NPR, said on Twitter: "Mohammad Nabbous was my primary contact in Libya, and the face of Libyan citizen journalism. And now he's dead, killed in a firefight."
