washingtonpost.com's Faces of the Fallen 2.0
WashingtonPost.com has relaunched its Faces of the Fallen database of U.S. service members who've died in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The site has transformed the single-page Flash application into a fully browsable database, with permalinks for everything.
Adrian Holovaty, who helped build it, shares some details:
Django-powered, the site lets you browse by age, death date, home state and city, military branch or multiple search criteria. Each soldier gets his or her own page, as does each date, American city, age, military branch, etc. There's an RSS feed for recent casualties, a feed for each state and a feed for each military branch. We've integrated Google Maps on several pages to highlight service members' hometowns.

Great reader photos from Iraq
In December, The Washington Post and washingtonpost.com solicited images from U.S. soldiers and their family members and friends about life in Iraq. The Post has culled through the photos and published the best ones. You can view the submissions they published here -- or use the search box to find specific photographs.
What's notable about this gallery is that, unlike most photo galleries of reader-submitted photos you see on news sites, these photos are professional quality -- from composition to lighting.
This demonstrates how the combination of citizen journalists and professional editing can produce high-quality, publishable content on par with professional work, giving audiences new perspectives without losing quality or credibility.
