Sir Edmund Hillary My Hero, My Idol and our NZ's Icon
Jan 11, 2008
Media across the globe reacted swifty and respectfully to the news of the death of Sir Edmund Hillary.
The legendary adventurer's death knocked the American elections from the top of Google News, the world's biggest search engine's news site, which says nearly 1,000 websites are carrying articles on Hillary.
A New York Times tribute to Sir Edmund was leading the Google worldwide site.
"Sir Edmund Hillary, the lanky New Zealand mountaineer and explorer who with Tenzing Norgay, his Sherpa guide, won worldwide acclaim in 1953 by becoming the first to scale the 29,035-foot summit of Mount Everest, the world's tallest peak, has died," it reads.
"In the annals of great heroic exploits, the conquest of Mount Everest by Sir Edmund and Mr. Norgay ranks with the first trek to the South Pole by Roald Amundsen in 1911 and the first nonstop trans-Atlantic flight by Charles A. Lindbergh in 1927."
Looking at how the world's media are treating the loss of a truly great New Zealand shows that while many focus on conquering Everest, many pay tribute to Hillary as the widely respected man he was.
One Australian News site quotes acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard describing Sir Edmund as a "giant of New Zealand", acting Prime Minister Julia Gillard said today.
Australia's ABC News is running Sir Edmund's death as its lead story: New Zealand climber Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to climb Mount Everest, has died at the age of 88, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark has announced.
The cause of Sir Edmund's death was not announced, but he had been ill for some time and New Zealand media is reporting that he had been suffering pneumonia.
