Paul Moran
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul William Moran (May 30, 1963 - March 22, 2003) was an Australian Broadcasting Corporation cameraman and journalist.
Born in Adelaide, Australia, he moved to London in 1990, subsequently traveled around Europe, met his wife Ivana Rapajic, and moved to Bahrain where Paul worked for international news organizations. In late 2002, Moran accepted an offer from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to work as a cameraman and editor in northern Iraq to cover the Iraq War.
On March 22, 2003, Moran became the first journalist to die in the war when a car bomb exploded near him in northern Iraq.
A screenplay based on the life of Paul Moran is currently being considered by a leading London film agency.
