Weblogs and their application to war journalism

Blogging played an important role in the Iraq war, according to the information distribution issue. Many journalists and photographers that were correspondent in the Iraqi territories started writing their own blogs in order to show the other reality of the conflict. Weblogs turned into the brand new alternative information system of the II Gulf War.

Weblogs started being published just after the 9-11 attacks, when the shadow of the Afghanistan invasion was gliding upon us. When the war began, some correspondent journalists and also other people who were interested in discussing the reasons of the war and its political aspects started creating their own warblogs.

Warblogs had demonstrated that when a conflict is being developed somewhere in the Earth, thousands of people get involved and compromised by writing their own opinions about what is happening, what are the real reasons of our politicians to take part in the war… all those questions and answers we want to know and the traditional media do not publish.
