On the Listening Post this week, the civil war has ended in Sri Lanka but the media war continues and anonymity in the blogosphere: Is it a good thing?
We begin this week in post-war Sri Lanka and its governments never ending battle against the media. Its a four-month old story that keeps developing. Back in May, the Sri Lankan Army defeated the separatist Tamil Tigers in a military push that killed 20,000 civilians in the last month of fighting alone. Weve reported before on how the Sri Lankan government locked most of the media out of the war zone. Now, the United Nations, human rights groups and journalists are working to uncover the truth about the last bloody days of the battle. A disturbing video has surfaced that appears to show cold-blooded executions. The video has provoked an immediate pushback from the Sri Lankan government and the fight over that piece of footage is being waged all the way from the capital, Colombo to London.
