Introduction
The three major news sources I have chosen are New York times, BBC News and Al Jazeera. I decided to chose the New York times because I believe it has a variety of articles about the Iraq war and the U.S. soldier in it. I chose the BBC news because I believe it provides trusted world news as well as local news, so maybe I will be able to find out about soldiers returning home from Iraq and there experience overseas. A favorite news source of mine is Al Jazeera, and the reason I decided to use this as a source is because it is a source from overseas.
Stars and Stripes is another source I want to use because it is only deals with the military and its issues. I will be focusing on all middle east coverage from these sources. My topic from Google news is “U.S. Soldiers in Iraq”. The miliblog I’m using is the Sandbox, because you get a variety of soldiers speaking their minds about life in war and there opinions about the war. I want to know what war is like because eventually I will join the military and I would like read about what the soldiers already overseas feel about being in the middle east.
