In the past few days, two U.S. newspapers have run articles by female staffers who have been to Iraq, each at least vaguely tying into the Jill Carroll story.
This is from the L.A. Times' Alissa Rubin:
Abduction Forces a Grim Look at What a Story Is Worth
Risks are a given in a war zone, where the odds of death are calculated daily. But the kidnapping of Jill Carroll compels a reporter to reevaluate limits and responsibilities.
And this one is from the Washington Post's Jackie Spinner:
In Iraq, the Reporter Learns You Go Into Battle Alone
I like the LAT story better, although I found it somewhat auto-melodramatic in places. The WaPo story is about a green reporter in Iraq and her relationship with her twin sister.
