Kevin Sitss in the Hot Zone

Go the the Yahoo! website for Kevin Sites' Hot Zone.

Kevin Sites is spending a year covering every major global conflict as Yahoo!'s first news correspondent. As a solo journalist ("SoJo"), Sites carries a backpack of portable digital technology to shoot, write, edit, and transmit multimedia reports. He is supported by a three-person, Los Angeles-based editorial team. This website carries his reports. It also provides links with background information on the countries and conflicts that he is reporting. Sites spent the previous five years covering global war and disaster for several national networks.

This is an interesting website for its content. Sites is a good reporter, covering riviting news.

The initiative is also important as a new departure, in which a web company is providing high class coverage of important events and situations that don't make it to the evening television news, nor indeed to most newspapers. It would be great to see more use of the Internet to get this kind of news to those of us who want it and seek to make use of it!
