Gary Trudeau:
"Anyone who doesn't know generally what soldiers in Iraq are enduring is averting his eyes. It's available in real time in excruciating detail in a multitude of media - from CNN to milblogs. So both writer and audience today have a far more sophisticated understanding of the conflict."That's a quote from an Associated Press interview with the creator of Doonesbury. More:
AP: What is your daily media diet?Meanwhile, in Buenos Aires:Trudeau: About what you'd expect - New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today every morning. newsweeklies. Lots of Web surfing - Slate, Salon, milblogs - and cable news, primarily CNN.
Los blogs son ahora el instrumento que muchos soldados norteamericanos utilizan para contar sus experiencias en el frente de batalla en Irak. Para ellos, internet es una buena herramienta para difundir lo que les pasa sin que haya de por medio censura.In Santiago, Chile:Con el tí´µlo ?La guerra de Irak vista desde el frente?, el diario chileno El Mercurio da cuenta de que son má³ de 200 los soldados que apelan a esta forma moderna de comunicació®® Para ello utilizan lo que se conoce como milblogs, que se traduce en blogs militares.
Si en las guerras medievales las odas y cantos é°©cos se encargaban de retratar las odiseas de sus h鲯es, hoy -en tiempos de la guerra de Irak y de Internet- esas hazañ¡³ del campo de batalla se relatan a travé³ del medio má³ pop del momento: los blogs.Germany:Bajo el lema "libertad de expresió® °ara aquellos que la hacen posible", má³ de 200 soldados "postean" (escriben en sus blogs) desde sus computadoras laptops en "milblogs" (blogs militares), que se han convertido en el medio ideal para tener una visió® ¥n "primera persona" de la guerra, y de paso, tratar de evitar la fé²²ea censura castrense.
Die Blogs der US-Soldaten aber zeichnen sich h䵦ig durch mehrere Eigenschaften aus: Sie sind hochaktuell und stammen direkt von aktiven Soldaten im Irak und in Afghanistan.Denmark:
Det ä² inte bara journalisterna som bloggar frå® Irak. "Milblogs", som skrivs av soldater i f䬴, sprider oro i Pentagon. Nyligen slä°°te två µppm䲫sammade milbloggare sina b?r med f?ahandsskildringar av kriget.The American GI has always been touted as an ambassador for his country - but now there's new meaning to the phrase.
(Ironically, most of the articles also detail the Army's efforts to regulate MilBloggers, proving yet again that there's no better way to create a tenfold increase in interest in what someone says than to attempt to place limits upon it.)
