Erbil, South Kurdistan

Pajamas Media, which debuted this fall, said Wednesday that it will have bloggers and reporters in eight Iraqi provinces, including Mosul and Najaf, to provide around-the-clock coverage, with photos and videos to accompany stories, reports CNET. The bloggers will be compensated, said Pajamas, which also plans to pay for equipment rentals or purchases and to provide English translations. Pajamas is working with two-year-old Baghdad-based blog Iraq the Model.
