There is only one news story this week. Mostly, the Iraqi conflict is not about IT, but in our little window on the web here, we can at least point you to some more web-based coverage of the war in Iraq by introducing the “Great Iraq Conflict Coverage Gallery” at Cyberjournalist.net – www.cyberjournalist.net/features/iraqcoverage.html#embeds – which features links to weblogs from several “embedded journalists”.
This site, hosted by the Media Centre of the American Press Institute, features links with succinct summaries to over 20 weblogs posted by news reporters who are covering the war as “embedded journalists,” travelling with the coalition forces as they move towards Baghdad.
Never before in history has there been such coverage of a major conflict, on television, on radio and now also on the Internet, and the resources that are provided here by such news-gathering authorities as CNN, PBS, the BBC, NBC, ABC and the Christian Science Monitor are extensive indeed.
In addition to the weblogs and diaries, there are links to many other war-related resources, including some excellent maps and graphics presentations about Iraq from the BBC and CNN, as well as links to the major news sites’ coverage of the conflict.
For those with broadband access, there are video and audio links as well. – Tony Waltham
