Tom Johnson of Texas Tech University invites bloggers who have covered news on the Iraq war on their weblogs to participate in a survey. Tom writes:

“My colleague Barbara Kaye (University of Tennessee) and I (Tom Johnson, Texas Tech) are doing a followup survey to an earlier one from 2003 examining blog use during the Iraq War. In particular, we are interested in what motivates people to use blogs for information on the war and how credible they perceive a variety of blogs that discuss the war (e.g. war blogs, political blogs, media blogs milblogs). We are trying to reach blog users from a wide range of political perspectives and from a wide variety of types of blogs, so your participation is important“.
