Dahr Jamail Joins Truthout as Staff Reporter


Dahr Jamail Joins Truthout as Staff Reporter
By Victoria Harper
Truthout | Message

Thursday 13 February 2014

We are delighted to announce that, as of next week, award-winning journalist Dahr Jamail will be joining the team here at Truthout as a full-time staff reporter.

From his courageous work as an unembedded reporter in Iraq to his groundbreaking, on-site investigation of the BP oil spill's lasting effects, Dahr has remained a vital independent voice amid an overwhelmingly corporatized journalistic landscape.

"Truly independent journalism has become increasingly rare, yet has never been as important," says Dahr. "Truthout remains one of the last platforms available to report clearly about the converging crises that define our times, and that is why I've decided to join them."

Dahr's highly respected work for Truthout, Al Jazeera, The Guardian and many other outlets has covered a wide range of crucial issues. Reporting for Truthout from Iraq in 2010, Jamail documented the war from the assaults on Fallujah throughout the occupation, to the experiences of American soldiers in the field and at home. In his extensive coverage of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, he followed BP response workers and documented the impact of the disaster on Gulf residents. Dahr's recent work on the still-underestimated scale of climate change has already made a critical impact on conversations around this issue that will drastically shape our collective future.

The rest: http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/21855-dahr-jamail-joins-truthout-as-staff-reporter

We are SO EXCITED about this.

Great stuff coming soon.

Who?  :???: :???: :???: :???: :???:

If some loser unknown journalist joins an irrelevant website, does it make a sound?

How prestigous!!!   :whatever:

Hell, I won a few awards 20+ years ago for high school journalism.  Can I put that on my resume too?  I know it won't look anywhere near as impressive as Nadin's, but it couldn't hurt, right?  :-)

And I saw your comment too, Linda.  Great minds think alike. :cheersmate:

With a name like Dahr Jamail, he'd better treated well by the drunken Pitt and the heroin addict Jason at TruthOut.

Otherwise, he may strap on his vest.

Of course DUmmy Raven bankrolls the whole TruthOut joke site.

She needs to pay Jihad Jamail at least three times as much as Crazy Miriam pays nadin.
