Perth journalist Mark (who asked for his surname to be withheld) in Lebanon to research an economic report for a business magazine, has taken refuge in his Beirut hotel.

"There was a mass panic and many fled for the borders ... the traffic is jammed to a standstill," Mr Holland told smh.com.au via email.

"We have decided to stay in a hotel in Beirut as we felt it is the safest option," he said.

How much are they paying the relevant editor/s? Not much, it seems.
