The Dark Side of Citizen Journalism
There is a story over on Vallywag about the growing trend of Al-Queda “UGC” videos:
“Al-Qaeda’s propaganda wing, al-Sahab, produced 16 Web videos in 2006. Last year, that number jumped to 74. Now al-Queda is recruiting “geek jihadis“: adherents handy with portable generators, laptops, and video-editing software.”
This is a scary, if not particularly surprising trend. Every silver lining has a cloud. There is a longer story on the subject here.
