OKLAHOMA CITY - The family of Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Shadid will hold a memorial service for the late journalist next month in his hometown of Oklahoma City.
The City of Oklahoma City said Tuesday the service planed by Shadid's family will be held on March 3 at the city's downtown Civic Center Music Hall.
The New York Times reporter died at age 43 of an apparent asthma attack last week while on assignment in Syria.
