For your resilience, thank you to the brave journalists in Pakistan. This was Danny: After 9/11, he tried to check into a sold-out Pearl Continental in Peshawar, and he told me later, "Do you think they would have given me a room if I had said I was the owner?" He loved life.

Veteran journalist Robert Sam Anson died. He wrote in @VanityFair: “The why is always the hardest question for a journalist to answer and it’s what brought Danny Pearl to Pakistan. ‘I want to know why they hate us so much,’ he said." Rest In Peace. https://t.co/n4nalbZD00

He was held captive in Cambodia in 1970 and later wrote for Vanity Fair.

🚨🧶We can only wonder how Danny Pearl would be reporting the unrest in America today. He was murdered 18 yrs ago. Pakistan Supreme Court NOW hears his parents’ plea to keep in jail Omar Sheikh & 3 men convicted in his murder. Updates👇🏽 🙏🏽@AnasMallick & others for your reporting

And continue to ask all of the tough questions, do the investigative reporting, do the narratives to learn lessons, but do share your feelings with those you trust. Go to @DartCenter for resources on processing trauma and covering trauma. It was created by journalists in grief.

The Pearl Project was named for a man who left for a journey from which he didn’t return. Friday, so many did the same boarding PIA Flight 268. To ours friend esp in journalism: we are skilled at dissociation. It serves us well. Allow space now for grief. From it love will flow.

Hear from the best -@taimur_malik @AnooshaShaigan @SAhmadmaan. These intellectuals have not only brought the tech conversation to the forefront but have also advocated for its instillation in the Pakistan legal system time and again. Supreme! @theqanoondan

Kerala's early response to COVID-19 has kept deaths to only 4, in a population of more than 30 million. It puts the so-called "first world" to shame, and highlights the monstrous scale of avoidable deaths in Britain.
