Michelle Lang remembered as 'tenacious' reporter

Michelle Lang, the first Canadian reporter to be killed in Afghanistan, was remembered Monday as a tenacious journalist and gifted writer, as well as someone who always found time for family and friends. About 700 people packed the Italian Cultural Centre in Vancouver for Lang's funeral. The 34-year-old Calgary Herald reporter and Vancouver native was in the second week of a six-week reporting assignment in Afghanistan when a roadside bomb killed her and four Canadian soldiers on Dec. 30.
