BBC Correspondent Allan Little's report on Zimbabwe this evening included screenshots from This is Zimbabwe - a blog opposing President Mugabe's rule.
This blog has pictures of victims of Zanu PF violence committed against people believed to have voted for or supported the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC).
Little told us that such websites risked reprisals but enabled news to 'trickle through to the outside world'.

About Mediating Conflict

- This project was based on my research for a PhD at the War Studies Department, King's College, London. The thesis considered the impact of blogging and 'new' media on the BBC's coverage of war and terrorism. The BBC College of Journalism helped facilitate the research.
