What the (Iraqi) papers say

While you can get a personal view of living in occupied Iraq by reading the various blogs by Iraqi bloggers, such as Baghdad Burning, you can get a better idea of what issues concern the majority by reading a variety of Iraq's newspapers. If you don't have the time or language skills to do this, then you will welcome the Iraqi Press Monitor, from the Institute for War & Peace Reporting.

Every day they select and produce one paragraph summaries of the major stories being reported in the Iraqi press. As well as putting a local slant on stories reported in the international media, there are interesting articles that would not otherwise make it out of Iraq.
