Weblogs cover the war without mainstream restraints
"...Some mainstream war correspondents have taken notice of the bloggers' connection with readers and started journals of their own. CNN reporter Kevin Sites was filing startling pictures of Iraqis along with diary-style entries on his Weblog until his employer asked him to stop. Many regular readers wrote in to praise Sites and excoriate CNN for censorship.
If news organizations haven't exactly embraced the concept of online journals, they do seem committed to updating their Web sites regularly. And, unlike during the gulf war 12 years ago, when CNN made its name as the pioneering 24-hour cable news station, Americans now have a much wider range of choices for information."
