This post is now four years old, but the sentiment has not withered over time. It is hard to believe that 24 years have passed since we last had the privilege of witnessing the world through Miguel’s eyes.
Miguel Gil Moreno was the bravest, most selfless journalist and friend I’ve ever known. It’s hard for me to believe that it was 20 years ago today that he died. I can’t explain how much he meant to me or how important his work was to the world during his short career and life.
