Web Logs or 'Blogs'
In addition to the 24-hour coverage being provided by the cable channels and the hundreds of embedded reporters filing from the region, this war is being covered through yet another medium: Web Logs, or "Blogs" as they're known. Blogs are a kind of Diary on the Web. Since military action with Iraq began over a week ago, dozens of war blogs have cropped up, including one which is supposedly the only electronic diary being written from Baghdad.
