Electronic Iraq

Het onafhankelijke Electronic Iraq zoekt vertalers:: 'Electronic Iraq is Looking for Translators!

Are you fluent in Arabic and English? Would you like to help Electronic Iraq bring Iraqi voices and viewpoints to an international audience? Electronic Iraq (eIraq) was launched in February 2003 to provide a humanitarian perspective on a then-looming conflict. The site quickly became a respected and vital resource unparalleled in its track record of providing up-to-date news and analysis about Iraq, with a unique focus on the experiences of the Iraqi people enduring daily the tragedy and chaos of war. As testimony to eIraq's distinctive and reliable work, which provided a real-time alternative history of the war, both the Library of Congress and the British Library added the website to their digital archives. In June 2003, eIraq was awarded the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee's "Voices of Peace Award" for its "commitment to bringing the concerns, voices, and experiences" of Iraqis "to audiences the world over."In 2004 and 2005, eIraq reporters, photographers and commentators provided election-day reports, analyzed drafts of a new Iraqi constitution, and sent dispatches from Baghdad and beyond, writing from Fallujah, Najaf, Kerbala, Mosul and the Iraqi/Syrian border. Today, with searing uncertainty, daily explosions, and political wrangling dominating front-page news about Iraq, eIraq continues to provide a consistent and reliable flow of online news and analysis not easily found in the mainstream media. A greatly enhanced version of Electronic Iraq is in the planning stages, just as many media outlets have pulled their correspondents out of Iraq or confined them to their hotels as the security situation worsens. Rather than stepping back, Electronic Iraq is actively expanding, not diminishing, its commitment and capacity to bring news, views, and voices from Iraq to a worldwide audience.' Lees verder:
