David Ignatius, one of the world’s most famous and most credible journalists, wrote a piece today [Friday 31, 2006] about the coverage of the news from Iraq. In his column, which appears in The Washington Post, Ignatius talked about how journalists work in Iraq and the challenged they face in reporting all sides of the story from here. In addition to that, Ignatius talked about the Iraqi bloggers who are trying to picture the situation from Iraq and portray it for the world to see. In his column, he appears to be one of the few foreign journalists who realize and appreciate the role of the Iraqi journalists in getting the news to the outside world. “Western journalists in Baghdad depend increasingly on our Iraqi colleagues, who are some of the bravest reporters in the world,” he told his readers in his column today.
In the same time when we thank Ignatius for his understanding and appreciation of our work, we encourage the Iraqi bloggers, inside and outside Iraq, to “blog on” and continue the marvelous work they are doing to voice out our situation and do their part of contributing to the future of Iraq.
