Open Call: The search for a Georgian blogger

Rate: 0 Flag

We've had some outstanding blogging on the Russia/Georgia crisis. We would love to find a blogger who could give us some firsthand observations and reports, so if you've stumbled upon any who are great, let us know, in the comments below and we will reach out. Or, of course,  send an invitation yourself.

Many prominent Georgian websites are facing a crippling 'cyberlockdown' by online assaults originating in Russia, according to Noah Shachtman's 8/11/08 article for Wired. Georgia had always been reliant on Russia's connectivity infrastructure for most of their access to the Internet. Estonia is now lending a virtual hand, hosting many of the country's more vital sites, including their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Finding Georgian bloggers may be a bit tricky for the time being, but it's a worthwhile pursuit.
Yes, I saw that, too, Matt. Thanks. Looks like they've got limited Internet -- which makes them all the more important to hear from!
anyone know how to get in touch with Giorgi Lomsadze? There are a handful of excellent Georgian reporters publishing in English for www.eurasianet.org
From what I can tell, many of these are freelancers.
