name: Alive in Baghdad Project

email: aliveinbaghdad@gmail.com

url: www.aliveinbaghdad.org

amount: 1500.00

usage: This money will fund two correspondents in Baghdad to cover one story a week on the relevant issues in Iraq.

1000 will cover two 500 salaries for correspondents, the final 500 will cover expenses and technicals, such as tape and transportation fare around Baghdad.

timeline: Our timeline would be over the span of one month, planning to upload at least one short video per week, between 5-10 minutes generally.

We may run one or two weeks behind the initial start of the project for uploads, do to the security situation and difficulty getting material out of Iraq on a low budget.

description: The purpose of Alive in Baghdad is to disseminate information about Iraq, particularly on subjects overlooked in the mainstream press.

Our longterm goal is to provide a nuanced understanding of the situation in Iraq, and promote greater understanding of the Iraqi people and their day to day life.

UPDATE: Brian is working on the next version of the site and will let us know when he's ready.
