Citizens’ media, citizens’ movement in Iraq

: Iraq the Model announces the start of the Friends of Democracy web site with reporting from citizen journalists in Iraq in English and Arabic (using the Arabic-language blogging tool underwritten, with your help, by Spirit of America). Go read reports from the street, from Iraqis.

At the same time Spirit of America plans to highlight their coverage of the electino next Sunday with an event in Washington; details here. The event will be webcast for two hours starting at 2p ET on Sunday. I can’t wait to compare the coverage we find there with the coverage we find on our media.

    Ooh, Jeff, they’ve snagged Christopher Hitchins.
    He’s a good bet to draw an audience, even if people don’t understand much of anything else!

    I have posted a lengthy expose of the Fadhil brothers’ Iraq The Model and Free Iraqi blogs here.
    This includes further discussion of their suspiscious financial links to Spirit Of America and Cyber Century Forum.
