News Blackout on Jill Carroll Kidnapping
Introduction by Sean/iNoodle.com:
The below is an excerpt from a January 10 Associated Press article written by Patrick Quinn and published in full at the Chicago Tribune:
"After initial reports of the kidnapping on Saturday, news organizations honored a request from the newspaper [the Christian Science Monitor] in Boston and a journalists' group in Baghdad for a news blackout. The request was made to give authorities an opportunity to try to resolve the incident during the early hours after the abduction."
UPDATE (12 Jan 06, 16:54 GMT): As I am receiving quite a number of hits to this post, I decided to include, herein, a link to a later post which includes an email I sent to Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) in the US and Media Lens in the UK.
