Democracy Now! short notice

By Christopher on June 29, 2005 3:21 PM | 6 Comments | No TrackBacks

BAGHDAD—Sorry for the short notice, but I'll be on the Democracy Now! program some time between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. EDT. (In other words, in about 45 mins.) I'm supposed to respond to President Bush's speech and give an update on what's happening in Baghdad. The link above has a streaming link to the 8 a.m. show.

UPDATE 29/6/05 16:53 +0300 GMT Um, never mind. Their producers never called me. So much for that.

AP states that 3 newsmen have been killed within the past week in Iraq. Only gives details on the last one.

We appreciate that you gave us the heads -up.

One of the services has on the wire a story datelined Baghdad, with a note at the end that one of the reporters died by gunshot with details unclear - they name him, but I do not want to put the name (or the link) here unless Chris OKs.

That wire service has now covered the story, at the request of the family. Chris: I will send you the link via e-mail.

I heard some networks canceled post speech analysis because they didn’t there was enough new content to warrant analyzing.

Peace.

About me


Hi there! Thanks for stopping in. I'm Christopher Allbritton, former AP and New York Daily News reporter. In 2002, I went stumbling around Iraqi Kurdistan, the northern part of Iraq outside Saddam's direct control, looking for stories. (Some might call it "looking for trouble.") In March 2003, I made it back in time for the war, becoming the Web's first fully reader-funded journalist-blogger. With the support of thousands of readers, we raised almost $15,000. You can read my dispatches here. It was one of the moments in journalism when everything worked. It was a grand -- and successful -- experiment in independent journalism. In 2004, I moved to Iraq, where I would spend the next two years. It was a raucous, scary and exciting place with a lot of news going on. But I've since moved on to Beirut and the wider region. I now report for a variety of outlets.
