The Blogs of War [1]
Submitted by Sheldon Rampton [2] on
Amid the growing media attention surrounding the Israel-Lebanon-Hezbollah conflict in the Middle East, dozens of independent blogs are providing eyewitness accounts and describing what life is like in the middle of a war. Crawford Kilian offers a rundown of a number of blogs whose views range from pro-Hezbollah to pro-Israel. According to Lisa Goldman, the war in Lebanon may be "the first conflict to be blogged from day one [3]" and "the first time that residents of 'enemy' countries engaged in an ongoing conversation while missiles were falling."
