I’m sad to report that Small World News has experienced their first loss.
From the projects leader Brian’s Twitter:
First Alive in Baghdad staff member killed. There was a US raid, we don’t know how he was killed.
He was working on a secret project, I don’t know if I can release his name yet. It
was a project about the Badr Corps, his mom told us he was killed in a
multinational raid, but we dont know if it was US or ING.btw 1000!
Small World News is a wonderful journalism project that is trying to bring citizen journalism to other parts of the world. It is, without a doubt, serving a higher calling. I’m sorry to hear that somebody had to give the ultimate gift.
That’s terrible. I was about to make a comment about getting the staff member listed on the “journalists KIA in Iraq list” but it looks like Brian’s already talking to Committee to Protect Journalists…
