Support for Jill Carroll
It has been five weeks since freelancer journalist
Jill Carroll was abducted in Baghdad. Take a moment to read some of her fine writing about the Iraqi people.
Her abduction raises many questions about the risks an independent journalist faces when working in a hostile environment.
• Did she have security?
• Who paid for that security?
• What obligation does a news organization have to pay for a contractor?
Please share your experiences working as an indepedent in a hostile environment.
