You do a wonderful job of providing context and connecting the different posts and bits of media into a cohesive narrative. The conflict in Syria is also ripe for reporting via social media, even though Ali Mustafa was a professional, he was one of a few in a highly dangerous place, where a lot of the stories we get from Syria are produced by activists—particularly early on in the conflict. What a terrible loss.
