Pajamas Media Bloggers Rally to Cover Iraqi Elections

Dinesh C. Sharma writes on C|Net News:

A blogging start-up focused on news reporting will get its first real workout with its bid to provide real-time coverage of Thursday's parliamentary elections in Iraq.

Pajamas Media, which debuted this fall, said Wednesday that it will have bloggers and reporters in eight Iraqi provinces, including Mosul and Najaf. The online venture plans to offer around-the-clock coverage, with photos and videos to accompany stories.

The bloggers will be compensated for their time, Pajamas said. The group also plans to pay for equipment rentals or purchases and to provide translation to English.
