Yesterday two photojournalists, Chris Hondros and Tim Hetherington, were killed in the besieged Libyan city of Misrata, while covering the intense fighting there that has claimed so many lives. Their accomplishments as journalists are matched by few. They also cared deeply for the people whose stories they told.

Chris Hondros, the Getty war photographer injured in the same attack that killed fellow photojournalist Tim Hetherington earlier today, has also died. Here's an interview he did with The New York Times in February, and The Guardian has a nice retrospective of Hondros' photographs; above, one the last images he submitted from Libya.

In your awful Wednesday media column: a war journalist is killed, another social media news thing exists, a new culture editor at the NYO, Mets writing is unbearable, and a blog anniversary.
