Blogging and War Coverage

Weblogs are among the new technologies that allow for more in depth coverage of the war in Iraq. In recent days, CNN.com has had stories about how bloggers close the situation have brought the war to our computers, including this story that mentions soldiers' blogs as well a passing mention to one written by an Iraqi in Baghdad (there was full story on CNN on 3/24 but it seems to have been pulled).

However, the irony regarding CNN's coverage of bloggers and the war is that CNN forced one of its own correspondents in Iraq to stop writing on his blog!
